Check out ADAM and AzMan.
ADAM is Active Directory Application Mode. There is a how-to guide at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998331.aspx
AzMan is Authorization Manager. There is a how-to guide at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998336.aspx

A:
Microsoft is replacing ADFS with a brand new Identity framework, Zermatt. It is actually quite nice. You might also check out Ping Identity if you are open to a commercial product.
Here is a blog post discussing various alternatives. If you decide you want to investigate Zermatt more deeply, see this post.

Zermatt is indeed a good solution, but it does not replace ADFS. Rather, it wraps multiple identity providers, including ADFS.

@Nathan: Zermat is not an ADFS replacement. Further, it has already been superceded by a product called "Geneva". ( https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=642 ) I wouldn't look for it to become production ready for a while now.

Thanks for the correction. Geneva is not a re-naming of Zermat, but actually a different, replacement technology?
