Event ID 643 — Trust Policy and Configuration

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

The Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) trust policy file defines the set of parameters that a Federation Service requires to identify partners, certificates, account stores, claims, and the various properties of these entities that are associated with the Federation Service.

Event Details

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 643
Source: Microsoft-Windows-ADFS
Version: 6.0
Symbolic Name: GroupToUpnTransformInvalid
Message: The Federation Service encountered an error while loading the trust policy. An account partner with Windows trust enabled has been configured with a group-to-UPN transformation.

If this error occurs during startup of the Federation Service, the Federation Service will be not be able to start, and all requests to the Federation Service will fail until the configuration is corrected. If this error occurs while the Federation Service is running, the Federation Service will continue to use the last trust policy that was loaded successfully.

This error should occur only if the trust policy file has been modified without use of the AD FS administrative tools. Remove the group-to-UPN transformation from this account partner.

Resolve

Remove the group-to-UPN mapping

This error occurs only if the trust policy file has been modified without the use of the Active Directory Federation Services snap-in.

Group-to-UPN mappings should not be specified when federation partners are configured to use Windows trust. Remove the group-to-UPN mapping from this account partner.

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To remove the group-to-UPN mapping from this account partner:

  1. In Notepad or another text editor, open the TrustPolicy.xml file that, by default, is in %systemdrive%\windows\systemdata\adfs.
  2. In the trustedrealms section, find your account partner that has been configured to use Windows trust by locating its Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) under the trustpolicyentryuri section.
  3. Delete the content that is specified in the grouptoupnclaimtransformations section.

Verify

Verify that you can access the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)-enabled application from a client browser and that the resource can be accessed.
