I’m trying to develop an authentication plugin for an ASP.NET MVC3 application that would use WIF for authentication. Since it’s a plugin with an in-system configuration, I avoid touching the web.config file of the app or anything else. I’ve got it working, but now I’m trying to specify what claims the STS should send my app, and it seems that FederationMetadata.xml is involved, but I cannot find confirmation of that. In fact, I cannot find any information on this enigmatic file at all. What is it?

    FederationMetadata tells potential relying parties what information the STS provides.

    Your claims should be detailed in the EntityDescriptor/RoleDescriptor/fed:ClaimTypesOffered section
