  • Article

Applies To: Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0

Each instance of Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 has a corresponding Information Card that it can configure to issue. The initial settings for this card are configured when you first run the AD FS 2.0 Federation Server Configuration Wizard after AD FS 2.0 installation. You can use the following procedure to modify the card configuration after initial server configuration, as necessary. These properties are typically displayed to users when they see and use the Information Card. Therefore, you might find it helpful to update these settings from time to time as part of changes in your card branding or changes in card issuance policy.

To configure the Information Card issued by AD FS 2.0

  1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click AD FS 2.0 Management.

  2. Under the AD FS 2.0\Information Card folder, right-click Information Card, and then click Properties.

  3. In the Information Card Properties dialog box, you can modify the following items:

    • In Card name, you can type a new name to rename the Information Card. Typically, this name is displayed to users when they see and use the card.

    • In Card image, click Browse to browse for and locate an image file to link to this card. This file must be a valid Windows image file format (such as a .jpg or .gif file), and it must be less than 1 megabyte (MB) in size. The recommended pixel dimension is 120x80 (width/height). This image will be associated with the card and displayed to users when they see and use the card.

    • In Privacy URL, enter the Web address or URL to a file that contains a privacy statement.

    • In Available authentication types, select the type (or types) of authentication to be allowed when users use this card. The available options are Windows, Certificate, or Username/Password.
