I'm quite surprised, but after a day of searching, I don't see any DNN authentication providers for WIF. I found a set of 3 articles, paraphrased as: "1) Hey, I found a solution that doesn't require a new provider, 2) woops, forgot something, 3) oh, and I forgot this other thing."
Has anyone heard of or implemented such a thing? I have a DNN web site for which I would like to implement a WIF provider to connect to ADFS 2.0. Both have been around for quite a while. Where is a good place to look?
Thanks!
Isn't DNN just ASP.NET? Why wouldn't you use the SAM/FAM from WIF then?
I am not aware of any existing solution, however, after integrating DNN with at least 60+ different authentication stores/systems I can say that it should be pretty easy to integrate.
As Brock mentioned, if you find an ASP.NET solution it is just a little bit of tweaking to get it to work for DNN.

I am currently looking into how to store and manage users in a production IdentityServer solution.
My question is how do you store and manage your users with IdentityServer? What have you tried that worked? and what to avoid?
Do you roll your own solution?
Use ASP.NET Identity?
I did read about the AdminUI commercial project, any alternatives? Any good publicly free available open-source solutions?
Do you roll your own solution?
Use ASP.NET Identity?
I personally prefer ASP.NET Identity
There is a lot of examples and a quick-start available (i.e. IDS4 docs, An old but good blog)
You have a very good, well documented and extensible base framework, classes and types already in-place and you can build on the top of it
Also as a side note, I would say keep IdentityServer4 and ASP.NET Identity solutions separated to have two separate development and deployment lifecycles, separate teams, etc.

There is a nice open source admin UI available from skoruba. You can find more docs here
I am trying to integrate single-sign-on using saml with ColdFusion-9 applications. Could any one please suggest me how can i approach this problem as i am new to ColdFusion.
I googled for any possible solutions or anything remotely similar to problem at hand, didn't stumble across any suitable solution.
Regards

Does this post help? SAML Service provider with ColdFusion As an alternative you could use a Java based solution. Coldfusion CFC's can be used similar to this createObject("java", "some.java.class");
I've never used Drupal, but have been looking up tutorials online. My client would really like the adaptability of React and to have more flexibility in terms of design. I could make my own database and React app, but I have not studied security (I'm a team of one, so no one for security on my end, either). Security and access to a content management system was the main reason we decided to go with Drupal. However, I would still like to be able to code in React/something I'm familiar with to produce a site I am proud to say I made.
I've been Googling and Youtubing tutorials and help, but not having anyone to ask specific questions is making this difficult.
If anyone knows of a relatively easy way to build a React app on Drupal, I would really appreciate the advice. Or if there is a better way I should go about beginning a project as I've briefly mentioned above, I would also be open to that. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long message!
What you are asking is quite broad in concept and not easy to answer in just one answer post. Try to look for Headless / Decoupled Drupal.
https://www.acquia.com/drupal/decoupled-drupal
What this essentially means is that all the services and the content management are handled by Drupal while the core user experience or the way the site is displayed in a browser is controlled via a JavaScript framework such as React.js or backbone.js. This is achieved via Drupal’s RESTful API service.
Hope this helps.
I am a mid-level c#/.Net developer. I was asked to create a Dotnetnuke module. In your opinion, what is the best way to learn how to create modules? Is there a site/video/tutorial that is more beneficial than most? I will be using Dotnetnuke 8.**.
UPDATE
Since opinion based questions are not allowed then please just list places to learn how to create dotnetnuke modules.
My opinion may be slightly biased....

Use my free Visual Studio project templates http://cjh.am/dnntemplates
Setup your local development environment as instructed in the videos (using http://dnndev.me/)
I have an account at http://www.dnncreative.com/ that has helped me a lot!!
We believe that developing in DNN has a few requirements you must adhere to, to ensure you're ready for the future. These requirements include:
avoid any kind of webforms-specific mechanism, as they are end of life and have been for quite a while now
use Razor for server side templating and JS for most logic - this ensure you're on current technologies and ready for .net core
use webapi for actions / data / state change
You can do this manually with a lot of plumbing using MVC modules, or do it 10x faster using 2sxc (check 2sxc.org).

I am Currently working on DNN based website. I want to add new table for my custom module to keep record of login and registration info of profile. For that does anyone knows which fields are required for any table in DNN? I want to use database which I assigned at DNN installation. And how to retrieve data from table which I have created?
You should really go through the Module Development wiki for DNN, the Task Manager series will do you wonders for understanding DNN (ignore that it says it is for DNN5, it will work just fine for DNN7 as well)
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/page/module-development
There are no "fields" required by DNN when you add a table, as a developer you can choose what you want included.
Chris handled the table requirements, here is a little about accessing the database...
Using DAL2 to access your database in DNN is really easy. It helps you connect to the database and preform the CRUD operations. Follow the MyObject.cs and MyObjectRepository.cs model and you should be good to go.
for older dnn versions http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12853/Creating-a-DotNetNuke-Module-For-Absolute-Beginner
Please check http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/ for dnn 7+ module development
Besides Chris Hammond's tutorials and module template (IMHO, some of the best contributions ever to the DNN developer community), there are a couple of other extremely good tools to add to your DNN developer toolbox.
Mitchel Sellers' Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming book (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-DotNetNuke-Programming-Mitchel-Sellers/dp/0470171162)
Scott Wilkinson's series of tutorials on DNN Module Development DNN Hero. (www.dnnhero.com)
Note that neither of these are free, but are well worth having!
Agree with all above but for a quick example of how to use PetaPoco for your DAL, see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35749594/4574668
