There are two possible authentication types that can be configured to allow AD FS 2.0 to support authentication using smart cards:

  • Forms-based authentication (FBA)

  • Transport Layer Security Client Authentication

Using forms-based authentication, you can develop a web page that allows users to authenticate either by using their username/password or by using their smart card and PIN. This topic focuses on how to implement Transport Layer Security Client Authentication with AD FS 2.0.
