What is Active Directory Federated Services?

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is a software component in Windows Server that enables federated identity management and single sign-on (SSO). It allows users to authenticate with credentials managed by one organization (the identity provider) to access resources hosted by another organization (the service provider or relying party). This is commonly used to provide access to web applications and services across different security domains, simplifying user authentication and reducing the need for multiple user accounts.
