Why should I consider ADFS for my solution?
Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is an identity access solution from Microsoft that provides web-based clients (internal or external) with one prompt access to one or more Internet-facing applications, when the user accounts exist in different organizations and the web applications are located in altogether a different organization. ADFS lowers the complexity of password management and guest account provisioning. It can also play a significant role for the organizations that use Software as a Service (SaaS) and Web applications.
All internal DOI Requesting Parties should first consider Microsoft Windows Authentication or Kerberos prior to requesting an ADFS RPT, as there are additional benefits for these platforms. Only if these are determined to be less then ideal, should an RPT request be submitted.
What is the difference between a “requesting party” and a “federated partner”?
“Requesting party” refers to the customer organization appealing to the DOI for a relying party trust. Once the requesting partys application has been approved and a trust has been created, it becomes a “federated partner.” A federated partner is trusted by the Federation Service to provide security tokens to its end users (that is, users in the account partner organization) so that they can access Web-based applications in the resource partner.
