Identityserver3 可以作为具有 SAML（C#、MVC）的身份提供者吗？

Question

I want to implement SSO using C#, SAML

According to what I read on internet,

IdentityServer3 can be act as Service Provider with Kentor Authservice. https://coding.abel.nu/2015/01/saml2-for-thinktecture-identityserver-3-with-kentor-authservices/

( My understanding -> Service Provider will check SAML token and allow user to access resource/website/webpage )

But Can IdentityServer3 act as a IdentityProvider IdP with SAML?

( My understanding -> Identity Provider IdP will authenticate user against database and pass the identity of user in form of SAML token )

Can anybody please tell me whether IdentityServer3 can be act as a Identity Provider with SAML token? If not how can I approach the same? Do I have to create my own Idp and create SAML token?

Please correct me if I am wrong. I am quite new to this.

Any link / help would be appreciated.

PS - I am creating new question as my reputation not allowing me to comment on existing question. :(

Answer 1

No, IdentityServer3 can't act as a SAML2 Idp. It would require a SAML2 plugin to be built. There have been discussions on creating such a plugin based on Kentor.AuthServices, but so far nobody has had the time (or money to sponsor) to build that functionality.
