It looks like ADFS cannot connect to its configuration database, I already checked the connection string, and I checked and made sure that the the AdfsConfiguration which is located on \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query
is up and running, and made sure that the Network Service account has the proper permissions. Here is the error I am getting when I try to refresh my previously entered ( and previously working fine ) Relying
Party Trusts. "An error occurred during an attempt to access the AD FS configuration database; Error message: ADMIN0017: An exception occurred while connection to the configuration service. The configuration
service URL 'net.tcp//localhost:1500/policy' may be incorrect or the AD FS 2.0 Windows Service is not running."
My AD FS service is running fine, I turned on trace for ADFS, but I do not see any trace entries that might indicate what the problem is. This only happens
when I try to add other relying party trusts, or I just refresh the existing relying party trust list on ADFS, IFD for CRM 2011 is working fine.
If anybody has seen and solved this problem, I would really appreciate some help.
