title: WIF with out using STS
body: <p>Is it possible to use claims based authentication for active directory users(intranet) in a web application with out using STS? WIF needs to be used.</p>
  
  <p>"Authentication will be handled by WIF provided module or a third party Identity Provider (STS)." taken from cprakash.com/2013/01/03/identity-in-net-4-5-aka-wif</p>
  
  <p>Which is that WIF provided module that replaces STS? </p>
  
  <p>My scenario:
  I plan to take my web application to production with this WIF module. And when the real STS is setup by client then I plan to use it with minimum changes to my web application as I already use WIF.</p>
