How to run an ADFS Claims-Aware Agent on Windows 7

adfswindows 7

I'm trying to create a development environment for a .NET web site but I'm stuck at one point. The authentication for the web site is going to be through ADFS and the development machines we have are Windows 7 machines. The web site is therefore running on IIS under Windows 7 but I can find no information on how to install the claims-aware agent on a Win 7 machine (I've so far only been able to find information for Server 2008).

Any suggestions on how to get a ADFS claims-aware site up and running on a Win7 machine would be greatly appreciated.

ADFS 1.0 Client Library (System.Web.Security.SingleSignOn) got replaced with ADFS 2.0 (Geneva / Windows Identity Foundation / Microsoft.IdentityModel).

.Net 4.5 replaced the separate WIF assemblies by moving the Claims identity model into System.IdentityModel.

Long and short, it is time to update that authentication code - it has already been superseded twice, and is now baked into the .Net Framework.
