Re: ADAM account store in ADFS



do you have any step by step guide to configure shadow accounts and groups.

if you asked a specific question about configuring a token app.

The most important consideration with a token-based app is how you will
generate and manage your resource accounts. ADFS has two options, "shadow
accounts" and "shadow groups". Shadow accounts map your federated users to
actual user objects in your resource forest. You can map 1:1 or many:1.
They are usually the easiest to get working but often times are the most
difficult to operate and maintain, especially when you are mapping 1:1 as
you need a shadow account for each external user but you don't have a
natural way to find out who the external users are in advance, so you must
create that.

Shadow groups are more interesting and powerful, but harder to get working
initially. With shadow groups, you don't map the external users to specific
resource users but instead have a token created for the user that contains
group SIDs that map to group claims provided by the external partner.

Hello Joe,

Can u please provide some link for configuration of web sso in firewalled
environment for windows NT token Based application?

We have followed the ADFS step by step guide for federated web sso but in
production we need to configure web sso with winnt token based app.

Could you please provide us a good link ?

FSP = Federation Service Proxy. It is able to authenticate ADAM users
because it presents the forms-based login.

If you want the forms-based login page on the FS itself, you can replace
the
clientlogon.aspx in the /adfs/ls/ directory on the FS with the one from
the
FSP in the same location. Note that this is not a recommended or
supported
change. I just know that this works. :)

To add the app pool identity to the readers role in ADAM, you need the
federation server's machine account's SID. Or, you could just add the
"authenticated users" SID to the readers role. That's what I usually do.
With ADAM ADSI Edit, add a Windows group to the readers role in the
partition you have created and select "authenticated users".

If that doesn't work, then post some of your federation server log file
with
the logging set with everything "on" and we'll see if we can fix it.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the great help.

But still , i have some confusion.

1)How to customize the FS with the clientlogon.aspx page from the FSP?
2)Or how to configure FSP?

If FSP is Federation Proxy , i have already configure it to my
perimeter
DNS
to resolve the Federation server name and the Web server name.

3)How to add ADFS app pool account to readers role in ADAM?

I have follow the article from Microsoft Technet:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/8463deb5-f96e-43d5-ad85-231ec7d94b551033.mspx?mfr=true

After that i have checked with the article if ADAM is working or not
with
below article:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/8463deb5-f96e-43d5-ad85-231ec7d94b551033.mspx?mfr=true

it can make LDAP query.

It is a bit tricky to get working, but it can be made to happen. Here
are
some high level things to keep in mind:

The FS does not have a forms-based login page out of the box, only the
FSP
does. The FS uses Windows auth (integrated auth in IIS) by default,
so
that
won't work with ADAM. As such, you need to either customize the FS
with
the
clientlogon.aspx page from the FSP or just configure the FSP as well.

You need to make sure the ADFS app pool identity (usually network
service)
has read access to the entire ADAM store. This can be done by adding
the
ADFS app pool account to the readers role in ADAM.

You need to make sure you ADAM users are "bindable". This means that
they
have valid unique user names, passwords set and have
msds-useraccountdisabled set to FALSE. You may also wish to be
careful
about the use of msds-userDontExpirePassword.

You need a good user name strategy for ADAM. I generally like to use
userPrincipalName as the logon name since it can be used for an LDAP
bind.
This would then be the user name that users type in the logon form.
You
would configure the ADAM account store to use that name as the user
name
for
query purposes. Be warned though that ADFS likes the UPN to use the
AD
format, meaning that it should have an @ symbol in it like an email
address.
ADFS also wants you to use a specific narrow range of UPN suffixes if
you
will use that as the identity claim.

It is also a good idea to configure ADAM to use SSL so the bind
authentication will be secure. ADFS accepts that.

It isn't nearly as easy to get ADAM running as an account store as it
is
to
get AD, but it is definitely doable. I've done it several times
already.
Best of luck!

Hi ,

I am new in ADFS.I have configured ADFS for single sign on for
sharepoint
portal claim aware application with 2 active directory forest.One
active
directory forest is for external users and other for internal user.I
have
configured federation trust and active directory account store to
configure
the same.
Up to this point the configuration is working fine and single sign
on
is
happening.


But while i am trying to configure the same by removing the external
active
directory and place a ADAM in stead of that i am facing problem.

My believe is that i am not configuring ADAM account store properly
to
work
with ADFS.

Please guide how to configure ADAM account store in ADFS.
