Managing ADFS Web Agents and Applications
Applies To: Windows Server 2003 R2
ADFS Web Agents are Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) components that consume security tokens and either allow or deny a user access to a Web application. ADFS Web Agents are available for two types of Web applications:
ADFS Web Agent for Windows NT token-based applications: Internet Information Services (IIS) applications that use traditional Windows native authorization mechanisms. This type of application does not use ADFS claims.
ADFS Web Agent for claims-aware applications: Applications that have been written to use ADFS claims for authorization.
The following tasks for managing ADFS Web Agents and applications are described in this objective.
