15:05 - Its mentioned there, specify an account with AD domain admin permission, so dont think it needs to be enterprise admin.

[@ConceptsWork]

For sure you can use domain admin, in fact any account which has local admin access on the machine can be used, however there are many object types which are defined in configuration partition of AD, which is not documented in articles or on that screen. Based on my experience enterprise admin works best. Try using domain admin account with sql setup, you will encounter issues.

Try reconfiguring the certificate authority or i assume there must be some issue with cert validation.

What's the need for a "Wildcard certificate" and in which scenario we need it. Is wildcard certificate comes under public certificate? No video is showing how to get a wildcard certificate.

[@ConceptsWork]

Wild card certificate is generally used by enterprises as it gives the feasebility to setup any service with respeictive SAN. SAN - A Subject Alternate Name (or SAN) certificate is a digital security certificate which allows multiple hostnames to be protected by a single certificate. A SAN certificate may also be called a Unified Communication Certificate (or UCC), a multi-domain certificate, or an Exchange certificate.

I am not able to repro the same, when requesting for cert it gives the Error that the requested certificate template is not supported by CA . A valid certification authority has to issue certificates based on the template can not be located or the CA does not support the operation or the CA is not trusted.

Which template are you using ? Also make sure while creating the template, you are adding computer object in the security tab.

Hi please help me to have this answer. I am not able to find idpinitiator in server 2012 adfs. Can we have federation service name different from adfs hostname. Ssl certificate location, means how to check where from adfs server is getting ssl cert. How we will check by which service or user account adfs configuredi in exist environment. Can we use service account to configure the adfs

[@ConceptsWork]

Hello Rajesh, Yes you can have adfs service name different from ADFS hostname, provided your SSL cert should be a wild card certificate. It is stored in the perosnal folder of local machine certificate. Open services.msc and then check for Active directory federation service and from properties you can find the account. Yes you can use the service account, but you have to make sure that all the required permissions are granted. Regards, ConceptsWork

Hi can you please explain linking /redirect to a application using scope-openid?

Unfortunately you can’t ignore spn warning. SPN is required for many components related to adfs.

Can i setup and conf adfs without sql server??

[@arunsasiv123]

My AD Domain is ABC.com and this is not hosted as public domain. So when SaaS application authenticate with ADFS can I use different URL then how to ?

[@ConceptsWork]

I assume, Since your domain is not hosted publically, your application is also not accessible publically with domain (abc.com). If your domain is only used for local intranet zone, it will work as your internal client will be aware about ADFS server and app servers.

Hi All, Certificate Enrolment policy shows blank. when your adfs machine is not domain joined.

[@ConceptsWork]

Setting up ADFS with domain joined machine is the first prerequisite.

[@truereligionhinduism]

Hi, can we remove ADFS service account from being a member of domain admin group after ADFS installation? If Yes, then will it require to ADFS Service or Server to be restarted ? As ADFS service account only requires Domain Administrator privileges during the installation for the first ADFS server of the ADFS farm.

[@ConceptsWork]

ADFS service account doesn't need to have domain admin permissions at any stage of configuring ADFS.

@@ConceptsWork Very well! i already have a ADFS service account (this is visible when i go to ADFS Server>services.msc>ADFS Service>logon), which is also added to Domain admin groups...Now my question is, if i remove this Service account from Domain Admin group will it require to ADFS Service or Server to be restarted ?

No, adfs service doesn't need to be restarted.

Hi, How to check trust between ADFS and AD for authentication?

[@ConceptsWork]

Please check claim provider trust section on ADFS, active directory will be mentioned over there.

[@NickJamesBanks]

I’m just wondering, as a new small business owner, What is the point of having the a DFS sign in page if it doesn’t sign you into Microsoft 365 products? What does it even sign you into?

[@ConceptsWork]

Nick, the idea behind using ADFS is to serve authentication requests on prem, specifically those organization which don't want to sync passwords to Azure AD.(Now this has been changed alot). There are and there will be always some companies be it small or large who will never move to complete cloud as they still want to have some authorites over their own data. ADFS is not only designed to cater Office 365, any application that understand SAML,wsfed,OAUTH,openid can use ADFS as IDP. Example for small business - You don't have Office 365 but obviously there must be some application which users will use right? , you can use ADFS as an identity provider.

Please confirm which version of ADFS you are using.

[@KIRILLG88]

Is it ok to install AD FS at the same server where AD is installed ? i mean the server that used as DC

[@ConceptsWork]

Yes, it completely fine, but for obvious reasons when it comes to availability of production environment, in large enterprises, you will always find ADFS service dedicatedly running on different servers. In fact enterprises always keep, AD , ADFS, ADCS on different servers. happy leaning.

[@harishkumarLam]

Hello Sir, I need to know do we need to assign public IP to ADFS server for external third party to create trust with us ?
