Setting up SharePoint with SAML for authentication with PKI certs

Has anyone setup SharePoint 2010 with SAML and a separate STS server?

I'm looking for insight on how to achieve this so users can be authenticated with their PKI certs

My searches have come up with mixed results or partially completed examples(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh446525.aspx).  If anyone could point me in the way of a setup with a SharePoint server + SAML + STS Server with the use of PKI certs (I know its refined highly) I'd be greatly appreciated.

Anything close would also be appreciated, sometimes people use different search terms and I'm looking for something that could point me down the right path (close to it)

I've also seen some examples with C# (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rodneyviana/archive/2014/04/21/how-to-get-a-saml-protocol-response-from-adfs-using-c.aspx)

Mostly I'm believe I'm missing something due to not caching user accounts in the SQL Server, nor am I passing user requirements correctly via AD along with getting their information from their PKI certs.  Due to business rules we'd like to separate users based on their accesses if necessary.  President should see everything while executive assistants see small amount of data

Or am I just asking for something too complex on TechNet?

Thank you for your assistance
