What is AD FS?

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is a software component developed by Microsoft that can be installed on Windows Server operating systems to provide identity federation and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. It enables users to access multiple web applications and services (both on-premises and cloud-based) with a single set of credentials. AD FS works by establishing trust relationships between different organizations or security realms, allowing users from one domain to securely access resources in another domain without needing separate logins. It is commonly used in enterprise environments to streamline access management and improve security.
