title: Implementing Windows Identity Foundation with MVC 4
body: <p>I have a set of applications which access the same database to authenticate the user. The idea is to have a portal where a user can login once and then be able to access applications he has access to (SSO). The user can either login with username/ password or with his domain account. </p>
  
  <p>I'm new to WIF, and I'm trying to see whether it's a good idea to implement this with WIF. I'm using MVC 4 and Visual Studio 2012 and I've downloaded the Access &amp; Identity tool from the Extension Gallery. But it seems that it uses local STS from the tool to mimic an STS website. My questions are..</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is it a good idea to use WIF for this case?</li>
  <li>How do I create an STS website in Visual Studio 2012? Because the ASP.NET STS Website template is missing from the project templates.</li>
  <li>Is there a good tutorial that shows how to implement WIF in VS 2012? I checked out this tutorial but it doesn't help much: <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vbertocci/archive/2012/03/15/windows-identity-foundation-in-the-net-framework-4-5-beta-tools-samples-claims-everywhere.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vbertocci/archive/2012/03/15/windows-identity-foundation-in-the-net-framework-4-5-beta-tools-samples-claims-everywhere.aspx</a></li>
