Thank you so much for the video on ADFS, it is helping me in understand ADFS concepts quite well. I have couple of doubts: 1) What i have noticed is that if i use WS-FED url as application endpoint, the application does not get displayed on IDP Initiated sign on page, why is that? 2) WS-Fed endpoint, by default is also set as an identifier for an application, why?
Around 9:00 minutes, you talk about optional token encryption certificate. Why do we need this cert when ADFS server already has a cert installed? The authentication request from the relying party will be over HTTPS, and hence the token response will be encrypted correct?
The application we assuming here is Azure portal or any other else? And It is necessary to deploy relying-party trust without it there is no default option to automate the flow of user and application authentication request.
Excellent explanation. I would appreciate if you could share some information about the Signing certificate of the Metadata. One of our SP’s metadata has both Signing CRT and Encryption CRT. Not sure what is the use of the Signing CRT and where to add this or if it is added somewhere in ADFS when imported the metadata? Thanks again for your help 😊
Hello Sandip, Token signing cert is used for signing the certificate. Token Encyption cert is used to encrypt the claims. By default ADFS users its own Signing certificate to sign the tokens. If your application is sending a signed request, then you have to update their signature certificate in the signature tab of relying party properties. If your application is requesting encrypted claims, then add the encryption certificate in the encryption tab of relying party. Regards, ConceptsWork.
Great video concepts work. I have certain questions: Is the process same? If an cloud SaaS solution tries to authenticate against on-premise ADFS which is behind the firewall. Also, which protocol is more secure WS-Federarion or SAML? Some applications doesn't support SSO for authorization. In that case how could be synchronize the roles and accounts between on-premise AD and cloud based SaaS securely?
Ws-fed and saml they both are signing protocol; you can use any one of them. ADFS and AD, they both are two different components. Role management is app level authorization, which can be achieved by requesting a specific claim in the token. For example - Admin / Manager both will get different profile which sign into the application. In this case if token has a department attribute with either Admin or manager value, you can build a logic for authorization.
Thank you for your detailed information . I added all the settings with ws-fed . Now when i login the base url , it redirects me to adfs and i can login . However , if I navigate the web api of same base url at the first time , it is not redirected and gives me error like " you must sign in ...." in network. I am configuring ADFS in sharepoint 2019 site. Would appreciate your help .
@@ConceptsWork If i browse the site at one tab , it will work and now in next tab if i call api it works as I see adfs returned with FedAuthCookie and api uses it to authenticate . But , if i directly call api , it wont redirect , Yes, the network response is 403 from adfs to sharepoint which gives the error like " You must first login the site and select the options automatically ". The message is response from adfs to sharepoint . In UI, its gives me accessed error/permission message.
In this case capture a fiddler trace while reproducing the issue and check whether the required parameters are getting included in the authentication request which sharepoint is sending to the ADFS. Also, when you will capture fiddler trace, check the request reaching ADFS will have a paramter like client request id, you can use that to check logs on ADFS.
Great videos! lots of very clear explanation and examples. Do you know if the multi-factor authentication sever on prem can be configured to authenticate users when they log to a computer instead of logging to web page or app? Thanks for your help.
Hello thank you for nice tutorials. I am going with your guide to implement ADFS to my company but I still have some problems. 1. Adding new node to farm 2. When I adding relying party trust and permit to everyone I cannot login adfs/ls/dpinitiatedsignon.aspx to this via AD account. Can you help me with this thank you
If this is the link that you copied from your ADFS - "adfs/ls/dpinitiatedsignon.aspx ". Then there is a typo error, "I" is missing from "adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx ". Also if you are using 2016 or 2019 make sure you enabled idpinitiatedsignon.aspx from ADFS. To always verify if the ADFS is setup properly, check if the federation metadata url is accessible or not. Thank you..!!
@@ConceptsWork another one question when I trying to login "adfs/ls/dpinitiatedsignon.aspx " only one account can login which is configured in adfs server installation and others cant?
Can you please guide me to how pass claim type attributes eMail address upn along with name Id because it's required for get response using same protocol thank you
Hi, thanks for such useful videos! any advice on how to start developing applications that integrate with ADFS ? I don´t seem to find a good and clear tutorial
This is one of the official sample available by microsoft, review this and let me know if you need more clarification docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/development/single-page-application-with-ad-fs
@@ConceptsWork sorry but I didn't understand. Any concern is configure rely party trust for application this mean the adfs should able to reach the internal application on port 443 or it doesn't required
It's not required. Let say your app is app.com When the user access this url, its user's machine which will try to navigate to app.com Now your app will send a http redirect to adfs endpoint which can be adfs.yourdomain.com Now at this point there is no direct interaction between ADFS and app, infact its the user's machine. ADFS will authenticate and the response will be sent again to the browser of the users device, but in a nutshell, its your user machine browser which will cater all these redirects. Even if ADFS is not able to reach to any endpoint of app, authentication will still work.
Conceptually ADFS series is very good. But sometimes we face some of the technical issues... like ... MSIS7042: THE SAME CLIENT BROWSER SESSION HAS MADE '6' REQUEST IN THE LAST '5' SECONDS. CONTACT ADMINISTRATOR.
These videos about ADFS are definitely by far the best you can find on the internet. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Glad you like them!
A teacher should be like you! You really think of the perspective of a student and make videos according to their need. Awesome.
Happy to help!
One of the most imp concept to understand... Very well explained. 👍👌
This is fantastic! I really appreciate your in-depth but also a very clear explanation. I hope this channel will grow quickly.
Thanks for the kind words.
So nice and clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you so MUCH!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Presentation and tutorial about ADFS.
Thank you
Your video are great. Please make in detail video about "Trust". What happens when a trust is created?
Well Presented and easily understandable.
Great presentation
Excellent content.. Please try to share some videos on ADFS troubleshooting and Certificates.
Excellent Video Sir.
Glad you liked it!
are you a professional trainer, boss? What a fantastic video it is! many thanks, professor!
No I am not a professional trainer, just try to share my experiences. Thanks for watching our content. Enjoy learning.
How to get email address claim. In this video we are changing email address to nameid.

2) WS-Fed endpoint, by default is also set as an identifier for an application, why?
Application working on SAML will only be listed on IDP initiated sign on page, as SAML supports idpinitiatedsign on authentication flow.
well explained. thank you so much

Around 9:00 minutes, you talk about optional token encryption certificate. Why do we need this cert when ADFS server already has a cert installed? The authentication request from the relying party will be over HTTPS, and hence the token response will be encrypted correct?
This is to encrypt the claims inside the token, which is very specific to attribute list.
@@ConceptsWork Is the token encryption certificate also provided by Application vendor along with the text file ..? Thanks in advance.
The application we assuming here is Azure portal or any other else?
And It is necessary to deploy relying-party trust without it there is no default option to automate the flow of user and application authentication request.

Great video about ADFS :) Can you do for ADCS as well?
Nice videos, thanks for these tutorials. Will you make videos on SSL and AD CS also
No plans for now, as we are completely focused on cloud based solutions.

@@ConceptsWork sorry I just missed "I" when I posting. And our adfs is xxx.local does .local and .com is different?
To know the exact endpoints, please run - Get-ADFSEnpoint, you will get all the details.

Must the ADFS be able to reach the application?
Its the user agent which has to contact both the entities not the ADFS.
@@ConceptsWork sorry but I didn't understand. Any concern is configure rely party trust for application this mean the adfs should able to reach the internal application on port 443 or it doesn't required
It's not required.

@@ConceptsWork Sorry for bothering but one more question, please. Is it required for the application to reach the adfs webpage internally ?
