This topic describes how to configure your SharePoint alternate access mapping (AAM) application and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) server to allow users to access your SharePoint AAM application using AD FS.

To configure SharePoint AAM applications with AD FS

  1. Configure your SharePoint server to use Web SSO authentication using AD FS as described in Configure Web SSO authentication by using ADFS (Office SharePoint Server) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=180365.

    Note:
    In the procedure “Allowing users access to your extranet Web site”, in step 4.e, add the organization claim name exactly as it is configured on the AD FS server.In step 7, use the XML from Single sign on XML.

  2. Create the SharePoint application in AD FS as a claims-aware application (use the external hostname of the SharePoint application as the application URL). For more information, see Add a New Claims-Aware Application to the Federation Service http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=180366.

  3. Configure the Cookie Domain field as described in To configure IIS and the AD FS Web Agent.

Single sign on XML

Valid XML for allowing users access to your extranet Web site is shown below:
