WIF manually generate federationmetadata.xml

.net, federated-identity, wif

Solution

I created a custom metadata generator that does what VS does when you create the STS project. I had to use Reflection to call the code because as usual everything useful is internal in Microsoft's assemblies.

Problem

I am playing with windows identity foundation and I am trying to create an MVC.NET based Security Token Service and use it as the Single Sign On application. My only problem is that I don't know how to generate the federationmetadata.xml file. Is there any tool to generate this file manually?
