Windows Identity Foundation with .NET 4.5

If you have ever used Windows Identity Foundation in the past, you may already know that Microsoft decided to integrate Windows Identity Foundation directly into the .NET Framework v. 4.5.

In the past, you would have to install Windows Identity Foundation separately and then also install the Windows Identity Foundation SDK in order to use the available templates in Visual Studio.

However, with Windows Identity Foundation in .NET v. 4.5, you only need to install the Identity and Access Tool from the Visual Studio Gallery: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/e21bf653-dfe1-4d81-b3d3-795cb104066e

Unfortunately, this tool only supports Visual Studio 2012 :-(   If you think Microsoft should add support for the Visual Studio 2013 IDE, you can vote for this item here: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/5987303-provide-identity-and-access-tool-support-for-visua
