Is it possible to use Windows Identity Foundation without Active directory?
I thought i could, but the vast majority of what i am finding uses it at some point.
Am i just using crappy search terms?
Yes you can. In fact WIF is never used against AD directly, but through ADFS (another component in Windows).
You can use WIF with any identity provider that implements the WS-Federation protocol and issues SAML tokens.
Look here for examples http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff423674.aspx or the Identity Training Kit (or event the WIF SDK samples)
