If this option is selected and you have successfully obtained the necessary data, this wizard will provide you with the opportunity to confirm the data values that were obtained before you complete the wizard.

Provides a space for you to type a host name of the Federation Service in the claims provider that publishes the federation metadata for the claims provider.
