Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2

Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) can provide authentication for users whose accounts are stored in an Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) partition. To process user credentials, ADFS must be configured to recognize ADAM users by the attribute that the user provides when logging on to the Web site. This attribute is typically userPrincipalName or sAMAccountName.

Administrative credentials

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

To change the search base for an ADAM account store

  1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Federation Services.

  2. Double-click Federation Service, double-click Trust Policy, double-click My Organization, and then double-click Account Stores.

  3. Right-click the ADAM account store whose user name attribute you want to change, and then click Properties.

  4. On the Settings tab, in User name attribute, replace the existing attribute with the new attribute, and then click OK.
