Does anyone know of any good screenscasts or documentation covering the integration Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) with Authorization Manager (AzMan)?

There are many links I would recommend, screencasts are always a good way to get started:

That's probably more than enough for now, hopefully some of these links will be useful in helping you understand AzMan and how it's role-based access control (RBAC) capabilities can be employed in the claims-based programming model that ADFS uses.

    Many of these are useful, and I've been through many of them, but they each cover the technologies individually. I'm looking for documentation on integrating the two. – Bret Walker Feb 11 '09 at 12:59
  • The paragraphs directly under the 'Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)' heading towards the end of the Whitepaper are all about integrating/mapping the two with code examples included.

My recommendation would be to avoid AzMan and go to ADFS v2, aka "Geneva".
or you could use the .NET Access Control service.

Having been down the Azman road I recommend you take a look at this: link text

To do anything passed role checks with MS AZMan you end up having to make COM calls. Plus the other is open source making it a lot easier to extend for ADFS.
