Aspects
The following is a list of all aspects that are part of this managed entity:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Installing the Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) server role is done by using Server Manager. An AD RMS cluster can be a single-server AD RMS installation or several AD RMS servers installed in a load-balancing environment to handle requests from AD RMS-enabled clients. |
|
Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) uses a cluster URL that all AD RMS clients use to publish and consume rights-protected content. After a successful AD RMS installation, the cluster URL is contacted to ensure its availability on the network. |
|
Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) federated identity support is offered as a role service and is configured by using Server Manager. The Federated Identity Support role service is used with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and allows organizations to share rights-protected content by using an AD FS federated trust. |
|
Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) clients use a service connection point (SCP) to automatically discover the AD RMS cluster. |
