Set the return URL for a Windows NT token-based application

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

The return Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is configured on the ADFS Web Agent on a Web server to reflect the URL that opens a requested Web application. If this URL changes for a Windows NT token-based application, you must change its value in Internet Information Services (IIS).

The return URL must match the application URL that you configure in the properties of the application in the resource Federation Service. Therefore, if you change one, you must change the other.

Perform this procedure on an ADFS Web server.

Administrative credentials

To complete this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.

  3. On the ADFS Web Agent tab, in Return URL (Uniform Resource Locator), type the URL for the application, and then click OK.

  4. If you have not already done so, change the application URL to match the new value of the return URL.
