ADFS MSIS3115: Cannot connect to ArtifactStorage in the configuration database.

Question

Hello,
I am receiving the error below on our primary ADFS server. Does anyone know what the value of the following should be on a Windows Server 2019 ADFS farm?

get-adfsproperties | fl -Property ArtifactDbConnection

ArtifactDbConnection : Data Source=np:\.\pipe\microsoft##wid\tsql\query;Initial
Catalog=AdfsArtifactStore;Integrated Security=True

Event ID 250:

Expiration of the artifact failed.

Additional Data
Exception message:
MSIS3115: Cannot connect to ArtifactStorage in the configuration database.

User Action
Ensure that the artifact storage server is configured properly. Troubleshoot network connectivity to the artifact storage server.

Answer 1

When you are using the Windows Internal Database, the Artifact Store is not supported. So this is expected in your configuration and can be safely ignored.
