Federation Service Authentication Web Pages

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

The Federation Service provides Web pages that prompt the user to select an appropriate account partner to which the user can authenticate. The Federation Service also provides Web pages that prompt for the user’s credentials, such as a user name and password, for forms-based authentication. A Web page is also provided that supports Windows Integrated authentication and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificate authentication.
