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:
Channel 9 Screencasts:
AzMan
Demystified Series: Getting Started with AzMan
Demystified Series: Programming AzMan
Demystified Series: AzMan in the Enterprise
Demystified Series: AzMan on Windows Server Code Name “Longhorn” and Windows Vista
ADFS

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) Part 2 by Keith Brown
Documentation / Articles
Whitepaper on Developing Applications Using Windows Authorization Manager
MSDN Article on using Role-Based Security in Your Middle Tier .NET Apps
Role-Based Access Control for Multi-tier Applications Using Authorization Manager
Role-Based Access Control Using Windows Server 2003 Authorization Manager
Blogs
Identity and Access Blog (A .NET Developer's Resource)
Security Briefs (Keith Brown's Blog)
Authorization Manager Team Blog
T4 Toolbox: Strongly-typed AzMan wrapper generator
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.

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.

Sorry? The question was about an access control capability. How can you say that an Access Control service is irrelevant? It's directly relevant. – Cheeso Feb 10 '10 at 03:19
