Configuring ADFS 2 as an Identity Provider

The EmpowerID SSO framework allows you to configure Identity Provider (IdP) SSO connections for third-party identity providers that support the use of WS-Federation for identity transactions. In this way, you can offer users the ability to authenticate to EmpowerID using the credentials from any WS-Federation application in which you establish a trust relationship.

...

Users can use ADFS as their Identity Provider to authenticate themselves to EmpowerID. This topic demonstrates how to setup EmpowerID as Service Provider in ADFS and is divided into the following activities:

  • Registering EmpowerID as a Service Provider (Relying Party application) in

...

  • ADFS
  • Adding the ADFS Certificates to the appropriate certificate stores on the EmpowerID Web server
  • Creating a WS-Fed Connection for

...

  • ADFS in EmpowerID
  • Testing the

...

  • ADSF connection


Info

Prerequisites- As a prerequisite to

...

configuring ADFS as an Identity Provider for EmpowerID, you must install the

...

ADFS role service on your EmpowerID server. For information on installing the

...

...

IdP connections has been set up for
