Master Active Directory Federation Services by learning its architecture, deployment, and management for on-prem and cloud federation with Microsoft 365, including claims, tokens, and certificates.
Explore how adfs enables federation between organizations through browser redirects, active directory authentication, and signed tokens to grant access across providers.
Explore ADFS deployment topologies—from a single WID server to farm deployments with load balancers and SQL databases—and learn tradeoffs in cost, security, and high availability.
Identify certificate and database requirements for deploying AD FS, including communication, token signing, and decryption certificates, and choose between WID and SQL Server based on relying party trust count.
Diagram the ADFS infra in the lab before deployment to catch mistakes and missing requirements. Deploy adfs.GoCloudEasily.com with a public certificate and federate with Microsoft 365 for a practical POC.
Install Active Directory from scratch by adding the Active Directory domain services role, then promote the server to a new forest with the domain go cloud easily.com.
Install the first ADFS server in a new federation farm, verify the ssl.com certificate, import the private key, and configure a managed service account with Windows internal database.
Install and configure the web application proxy to publish the ADFS service, ensure name resolution and a valid certificate, and test secure access through the proxy.
Learn how claims form a user identity in a security token for claim-based authentication, and how headers, payloads, and signatures (with thumbprints and issuers) secure tokens in XML or JSON.
Install and configure the Azure AD Connect Cloud Sync agent on premises, authenticate to Azure AD, set up a group managed service account, verify health, and define sync filters.
Sync on-prem users to Azure AD by creating a cloud sync configuration, defining scope, mapping attributes, provisioning, and verifying the synchronization.
Use the following steps to configure TLS 1.2 on your client.
Run PowerShell as administrator.
To set TLS 1.2 for the current PowerShell session, type:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
This Same command I have used in this Lab.
