Identity Developer training kit for Visual Studio 2010 out of date by Marco Kroonwijk

Just want to put a remark that the Identity Developer training kit for Visual Studio 2010 is out of date. This can give problems with the labs. For example, I had the following problem reported during EXERCISE 2: ACCEPTING TOKENS FROM AN ACTIVE DIRECTORY FEDERATION SERVICES (ADFS) STS:

"The server certificate with name 'CN=ip-sts-01.federatedidentity.net' failed identity verification because its thumbprint ('DE74CFE7D20E8DC2B6E6E700E4D2A940CB08B268') does not match the one specified in the endpoint identity ('50191FA07A8F79D4220E551DF4B97F31519D012D'). As a result, the current HTTPS request has failed. Please update the endpoint identity used on the client or the certificate used by the server."

The exercise related to Web Services and Identity for Visual Studio 2010 Developers (last updated 8/25/2011, which is weird then to be outdated), asks the trainee to insert the following lines in the app.config of the WeatherStationClient:

The problem is that the certificate that is contained in this encoded value has expired since 2/19/2011. They did put up a new certificate on the server but forgot to update the exercise description.
