SharePoint 2010: Install and Configure ADFS for SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 8

  • Article

Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 helps simplify access to applications and other systems with an open and interoperable claims-based model. The AD FS 2.0 platform provides a fully redesigned Windows-based Federation Service that supports the WS-Trust, WS-Federation, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocols. In this article we are going to install it on Windows Server 8! You can find my recent article, how you configure AD FS 2.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2

 

Actually you don't have to download it, but if you need you can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10909

2 Configure AD FS on SharePoint 2010.

Create a new certificate from AD FS Server and copy it on the SharePoint Server. Lets rename it on GokManiaAdfs.cer:

  • C:\GokManiaAdfs.cer, which is the token signing certificate I copied from my ADFS server

 

Now that I have my certificate, I need to add them to my list of trusted root authorities. I’m going to do that in PowerShell with this script:

 

$cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2("C:\GokManiaAdfs.cer ")

New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name "Token Signing Cert" -Certificate $cert

Next I’m going to create the claim mappings that SharePoint is going to use

 

$map = New-SPClaimTypeMapping -IncomingClaimType "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress" -IncomingClaimTypeDisplayName "EmailAddress" -SameAsIncoming

$map2 = New-SPClaimTypeMapping -IncomingClaimType "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/role" -IncomingClaimTypeDisplayName "Role" -SameAsIncoming

Next I’m going to create a variable for the realm that I want SharePoint to use. For this scenario I said I was going to use the realm urn:seo:sharepoint. Here’s the PowerShell to create my realm variable:

 

$realm = "urn:portail.gokmania.local:sharepoint"

Now I’m ready to create my SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer. This is where I tie together all of the configuration information so SharePoint knows how to connect and work. I’ll show the PowerShell here and then explain the important parts:

 

$ap = New-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer -Name "SAML Provider" -Description "SharePoint secured by SAML" -realm $realm -ImportTrustCertificate $cert -ClaimsMappings $map,$map2 -SignInUrl "https://adfs.gokmania.local/adfs/ls" -IdentifierClaim "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress"

So now we’ll open up the browser and navigate to Central Administration. Click on the Manage Web Applications link, then click on the web application in the list that’s going to use ADFS to authenticate, then click the Authentication Providers button in the ribbon. Click the link in the dialog that corresponds to the zone in which you are going to use ADFS to authenticate. Scroll down to the Authentication Types section. You can now de-select NTLM, and you should see a new provider called “SAML Provider” in the list of trusted providers.
