    Hello @yasser Mohamed AbdelMoneim ,
    Thanks for reaching out.

    ADFS HTTP based probe endpoint introduced from 2016 server, the HTTP probe can be accessed over HTTP using the path ‘/adfs/probe'

    • http://<Web Application Proxy name>/adfs/probe
    • http://<ADFS server name>/adfs/probe
    • http://<Web Application Proxy IP address>/adfs/probe
    • http://<ADFS IP address>/adfs/probe

    It is recommended to use the HTTP (not HTTPS) health probe endpoints to perform load balancer health checks for routing traffic. This avoids any issues relating to SNI. The response to these probe endpoints is an HTTP 200 OK and is served locally with no dependence on back-end services.

    Hope this helps.
