Can someone please explain to me how to run the samples in the Github repository for Sustainsys.Saml2.
The SampleIdentityServer4AspNetIdentity does not have a solution file. In any case, if you make it the starting project, when you click the login link and then the SAML button, it throws an exception when the browser attempts to load the ExternalLogin action:

I really need to get this sample working, as I don't think I'll develop an understanding for how it works otherwise (the doco is confusing to the point of being written in another language).
Is the code up to date? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? If there is something I need to do, it would help if the samples directory had a readme file which explained it. Otherwise, you expect to have a seamless "F5 experience".
The sample project relies on the Stub Idp that is in the same solution. So first start the Stub Idp project, then start any of the sample projects.
