Active Directory Federation Services

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is a software component developed by Microsoft that can be installed on Windows Server operating systems to provide users with single sign-on access to systems and applications located across organizational boundaries. It uses a claims-based access control authorization model to maintain application security and implement federated identity.

Active Directory Federation Services

What is Claim?

Claim is piece of information that describes given identity on some aspect. Take claim as name-value pair. Claims are held in authentication token that may have also signature so you can be sure that token is not tampered on its way from remote machine to your system.

Claims-based authentication

Claims-based authentication is more general authentication mechanism that allows users to authenticate on external systems that provide asking system with claims about user.

Claims-based authentication

1.User makes request to some application.2.System redirects user to authentication page of external system (it may also happen after system lets user to select external system where he or she wants to log in).3.After successful authentication external system redirects user back with some information.4.Application makes request to external system to validate user.5.If user is valid then user gets access to application.
