title: Local STS to production
body: <p>I am now working on a web project where the authentication mechanism chosen is windows authentication(intranet application). Once the project goes live, after a gap of two months or so, an STS will be set up. Then the web project should start using it with out much change to the code. How to do it? </p>
  
  <p>I plan to use claims based authentication using WIF 4.5 with my own STS ( a WCF project/web application) and take it to live. once the STS is setup in intranet(ADFS)/cloud(WAAD). I simply change the local STS URL to new 'original' STS.</p>
  
  <p>1) Will it work?
  2) Can the local STS be a dll? </p>
