Web SSO Design

Identifying Your AD FS 2.0 Deployment Goals

Review the hardware, software, certificate, Domain Name System (DNS), attribute store, and client requirements for deploying AD FS 2.0 in your organization.

Appendix A: Reviewing AD FS 2.0 Requirements

According to your design plan, install one or more federation servers in the corporate network or in the perimeter network.

Note

The Web SSO design requires only one federation server to function successfully. A single federation server acts in both the claims provider role and the relying party role.

Checklist: Setting Up a Federation Server

(Optional) Determine whether or not your organization needs a federation server proxy in the perimeter network.

Checklist: Setting Up a Federation Server Proxy

Depending on your Web SSO design plan and how you intend to use it, add the appropriate attribute store, relying party trusts, claims, and claim rules to the Federation Service.

Checklist: Configuring the Account Partner Organization

If you are an administrator in the resource partner organization, claims-enable your Web browser application, Web service application, or Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 application using WIF and the WIF SDK.
