It covers generating a signing certificate, wiring an app to ACS via the Visual Studio 'Add STS reference' wizard, registering a Relying Party Application in the ACS portal, selecting identity providers like Windows Live ID and Google Accounts, and fixing an ASP.NET request validation error with a custom RequestValidator. The author praises the labs release as much simpler than prior ACS versions and notes linking an ADFS server took only five minutes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
