Microsoft ADFS Insights

What is Microsoft ADFS?

Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is a software component included with the Windows Server operating system that provides identity federation and single sign-on (SSO). It allows users to authenticate with credentials stored in Active Directory and access web applications and services, even those hosted outside the organization's network, without needing to log in separately for each application. ADFS establishes a trust relationship between different organizations or services, enabling secure resource sharing and streamlined user access.
