StarterSTS documentation

Welcome to StarterSTS.

"The idea behind StarterSTS was to have a non-trivial security token service sample that demonstrates the typical tasks of an STS (where it turns out that issuing tokens is by far the smallest part) and at the same time is real world enough to be directly used in specialized situations like development STSes."
