Steps to configure SAML 2.0 SSO with Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services
Note: ADFS 2.0 on Windows Server 2008 r2 or ADFS 3.0 on Windows Server 2012 / 2012 r2)
SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) supports integration with Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) 3.0.
Requirements
-
A fully installed and configured ADFS service.
-
A server running Microsoft Server 2008r2 or 2012/2012r2

In this example we are using ADFS 2.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2. On Windows Server 2012 the steps will be the same except for the installation, because you install AD FS role via the server manager, not via the installation package as on Windows 2008 server r2.
Step 1. AD FS Management
Login in to your AD FS server and launch the ADFS Management Console via the shortcut in Control Panel\Administrative Tools.
Step 2. Check AD FS settings

Confirm that the General settings match your DNS entries and certificate names. Make a note with the Federation Service Identifier, since that is used in the iSpring Learn SAML 2.0 configuration settings.
