Hi Sarafian

I can give you experience I made with WIF and CXF based primarely on the 
Passive Requestor Profile.

The WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile is supported by the CXF subproject 
called Fediz which is described here (hope a release is available next week)
http://cxf.apache.org/fediz.html

I've tested the Fediz IDP/STS with ASP.NET and WIF which is described on the 
following blog:
http://owulff.blogspot.ch/2012/02/configure-fediz-idp-and-aspnet-using.html

The Fediz STS is based on the CXF STS 2.6.1 which configures username/password 
and the user's claim in a file but you can also attach an LDAP directory or 
write your custom plugin. You find more information here:
http://cxf.apache.org/fediz-idp.html

In my case, I haven't used the FedUtil to generate the web.config 
configuration. I've created the config once and then copy/pasted it into the 
different ASP.NET projects. Right now, neither the Fediz IDP nor STS support to 
publish the WS-Federation Metadata document. This is supported only the Fediz 
Relying Party - committed today morning ;-)
Please raise a JIRA with Fediz and CXF to track this request.

Does the STS support identity delegation trough the ActAs element?
>>>
The STS supports identity delegation either with ActAs or OnBehalfOf. Fediz 
ships an example where a WS-Federation (passive) protected web application 
calls a web service which is protected by an IssuedToken policy. This example 
uses OnBehalfOf but ActAs is supported as well.

Check the README here for more information:

Subject: Compatibility with Windows Identity Foundation (WIF)

Hi,

I'm part of a team that is prototyping against moving security from a
trusted subsystem architecture towards an STS one.

Most of the application is build on top of the .NET stack using the WIF
library and the Windows Identity Foundation Federation Utility (FedUtil) for
configuration. The STS tested against for now is ADFS.

Our test include passive and active profile with and without identity
delegation.

Now we want to test against another STS, preferably one that doesn't use
Active Directory as an Identity Provider.

We are thinking about CFX STS and we are wondering how compatible is it.
Does CFX STS exposes endpoints for configuration like ADFS does through the
FederationMetadata.xml? This would be very useful for the FedUtil.
Does the STS support identity delegation trough the ActAs element?

Whatever information you can provide will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
