Add STS Reference in Visual Studio 2013 Update 4
Add STS reference (preferably add a new STS project) in Visual Studio Ultimate with update does not exist. 4. I tried to install the ID and Access extension and it doesn't let me install since then, it expects visual studio 2012 but not 2013. I have mentioned this many MSDN blogs and every one where they either talk about VS2012 or say about Fedutil WIF sdk 4.0, which uses the old version of WIF (Microsoft.IdentityModel) but not the newer version (System.IdentityModel).
From the project creation I can somehow add a link to the STS project using the "On-space" option. But I want to create an STS project and then link to it.
Is there a way to add STS reference to any project in "Visual Studio 2013 Final Release"
I have submitted a blog to Microsoft and I can use the existing samples they provided, but is there a standard template available for the above VS version?

FedUtil and "Identity and Access Tool" are no longer available.
The only way to do this is to "Change Authentication" when you create the project and then select "Place". Unfortunately, you can only do this when creating a project. After that, you cannot modify it. I believe this is changing in VS 2015.
Part of the reason for the disappearance of tools is that these tools were based on WIF, whereas OWIN is the basis for all new VS developments.
You can merge the WIF section from the web.config file of the old WIF project.

Unfortunately Microsoft has not included the Identity and Access tool in VS 2013. Also, as far as I know, there is no template.
There are, however, two tricks you can use to create a requirement-aware application in VS 2013: 1- You can create the same project in VS 2012 and import it into VS 2013 and it will work. 2- You can add System.IdentityModel tags yourself to your VS 2013 project as described here: What do I need to create a claims-aware wcf service in VS 2013?
