Find Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityModel.dll for SharePoint 2016 Environment

Question

I am developing custom login page webpart where I need reference Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityModel.dll, but on my SharePoint 2016 environment I was unable to find that dll.

I have checked my assembly folder C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL with no luck.

Can someone help me How can I find that dll for SharePoint 2016?

Answer 1

Since the GAC location changed after .NET Framework 4.0, the Microsoft.SharePoint.IdentityModel.dll is found in the below folder:

c:\windows\microsoft.net\assembly

Exact location of the dll would be:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SharePo‌​int.IdentityModel\v4‌​.0_15.0.0.0__71e9bce‌​111e9429c
