Adding and Configuring a Windows NT Token-based Application

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

If you have applications that use the Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Web Agent for Windows NT token-based applications for authorization, you can configure them in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Use the ADFS Web Agent tab in the properties pages for the following IIS nodes:

  • Web Sites node: Use this node to configure the Federation Service URL. Clients are directed to the Federation Service URL when they contact the associated Federation Service.

  • SiteName nodes and virtual directories: Use this node to enable the ADFS Web agent for Windows NT token-based applications and to configure cookies and the Return URL. The Return URL directs clients to the application page after successful authentication.
