Hello,
I have setup the following :
CRM (Hosted Domain)
ADFS (Hosted Domain)
ADFS (Client Domain)
Client PC (Client Domain)
The client connects to CRM via a leased line (or VPN tunnel) to our data centre, the client authenticates with there OWN AD / ADFS.
so technical its not IFD.
I have observed the following :
Without IFD (note, url is crm.domain.com/org
)
I connect, IE bounces to the local ADFS and authenticates me and then bounces to CRM.
Note I get no login FORMS or Popup
With IDF (note, url is org.domain.com )
I connect, IE bounces to the local ADFS and authenticates ADFS present the auth form and then I get bounced to the CRM page.
if I go to crm.domain.com/org I still get the org.domain.com page when the process completes.
Also, if we did want to present this over the web we would just use TMG .
Any thoughts are welcome.
I don't like the fact I got forms based auth for IFD but the URL look nicer :) I have not looked into configuring ADFS to not use forms. I presume it uses forms as the metadata it gets from CRM makes it use forms.
