IFD or not to IFD RRS feed

  • Question

  • 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.
