ADFS Issue

Question
-
Hi,
I have turned off firewall for testing and just installed ADFS 2.0. During config set up it picked up the wildcard certificate on port 443 as set up in IIS and I changed the *.ourdomain.com to sts.ourdomain.com. The DNS is set up as I can ping sts.ourdomain.com both internally and externally and it returns the IP of the server. When I attempt to view the https://sts.ourdomain.com/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml is just loads for a while and then cannot display. Any idea why this may be? I notice that in IIS the path of the default website is still 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot' - is this anything to do with it?
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Also make sure any external firewalls are allowing traffic in on the required ports for the CRM and/or ADFS servers.

If you are just seeing a blank screen when trying to verify federationmetadata.xml and are using IE, try turning on compatibility mode.
Unable to load Federation Metadata URL in CRM 2011 IFD Setup
With ADFS installed, the path on the default website will still show up as 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot', ADFS creates and uses a virtual directory.

Any certificate errors?
From IE if you hit F12 and get the developer tools
Go to the Network tab
Start Capturing
Try the URL again
See if that gives any additional information

Nope, just blank for a while and then cannot display the page.
Tried what you suggested and got the following for a while:

OK hopefully this is it.
When you ping the address from inside your network, does it resolve to the same address as if you pinged it from outside your network? If so, try creating an internal DNS record to point to the internal IP address of the server.
The result of a ping inside your network (where I am assuming you are testing from) results in an internal address and a ping from outside your network results in the public IP address of the server.

Ah, yes, pinging from inside and outside returns the public IP address so I'll try that now! Will let you know if it works, thanks for your help.

When I go into DNS there are no records due to the domain being hosted by our ISP. Where do I create the new record? Just tried a couple of things but pinging still returned the public IP so I must be doing something wrong! Thanks again.

Ok, I've deleted the DNS records that I created as I couldn't get it to work. When I get the "Internet explorer cannot display the page" message and click on the diagnose problems button I get: "resource (sts.ourdomain.com) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts." Not sure if that's any help!Friday, December 7, 2012 10:54 AM
