Identity Providers for SharePoint

Overview:  I have worked with and evaluated a couple of Services and Federation Server products.  Here is an old pot of setting up claims, at the bottom I have some thoughts on different services/server products.
Background: SAML and WS-Federation protocols are standard Single Sign-On protocols, the following version exist:
  • SAML 1.0, SAML 1.1, SAML 2.0
  • WS-Federation
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based protocol for exchanging authentication and authorization data between security domains.
SAML enables web-based authentication scenarios including cross-domain single sign-on (SSO).  SAML is a token representing a principal that normally represents a user but can represent an app.
  
Other terms to understand:
  • Identity provider (IdP) think ADFS/Azure ACS,
  • Service provider (SP) is the SAML consumer in our context this is SharePoint but this can be an MVC app.
  • Realm
OOTB SP2010 and SP2013 support SAML1.1 not SAML2.0, you can write custom code or use a Federation Server like ADFS to convert the SAML2.0 so it will work with SP.
Identity Provider (IdP) Products:
  1. Microsoft ADFS
  2. Ping Federate
  3. ThinkTexture Identity Server
  4. CA-SiteMinder
  5. IBM Tivoli (CAM)
  6. Oracle Access Manager
  7. ComponentSpace
  8. Shibboleth
  9. RSA Federated Identity Manager
  10. Entrust GetAccess
 IdP Services:
  1. Azure Active Directory
  2. LiveId
  3. Google
  4. Facebook
  5. LinkedIn
  6. Yahoo
This list is in no way exhaustive, pls post if you feel I am missing any providers.
