title: WIF (Windows Identity Foundation) with SAML 2.0
body: <p>First some background:</p>
  
  <p>We were recently tasked to send a SAML 2.0 assertion to the server that we are communicating with. We are using WCF for our client. The server is not using WCF. The guys who implement the server, don't have an STS that will issue a SAML assertion. We are trying to use WIF framework because it supports SAML 2.0 tokens.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is it possible to send a SAML 2.0 assertion with the message from the client without getting the SAML2 token from an STS? If it is can someone please post some sample code on how to do this with WCF and Windows Identity Foundation? I looked around and could not find anything.</p></li>
  <li><p>Does anyone have any examples with a client getting a SAML2.0 token from an STS and then sending that token with an assertion to a server app?</p></li>
  </ol>
