Managing the Federation Service Proxy (Optional)

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

The Federation Service Proxy component of Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) functions as a proxy in a perimeter network (also known as demilitarized zone, extranet, or screened subnet) for the Federation Service. The Federation Service Proxy component is not a required component in an ADFS deployment.

The act of installing the Federation Service Proxy component on a computer makes that computer a federation server proxy. Federation server proxies forward requests to federation servers that are not accessible from the Internet.

The following tasks for managing the Federation Service Proxy are described in this objective.

• Managing a Federation Server Proxy Farm

• Managing Certificates Used by Federation Server Proxies
