I plan to configure ADFS on my SharePoint server. I have separate AD DC. While configuring adfs in SharePoint it require my DC Admin password, Shall I give the admin password to configure, if this affects my AD schema or any changes?
Why the admin password is asking while configuring adfs
Your valuable reply helps us a lot.
ADFS creates some entities on the DC to store passwords etc.
It needs domain admin rights to do this.

I need to support 3 way of authentication at the same time in the application: LDAP, Azure AD, Basic.
After few hours of googling i found that the best way to do it would be to implement 3 authentication providers and then register them with AuthenticationManagerBuilder. But the issue i stumbled into is, that i dont know how the make the Azure Ad provider. For LDAP i found an online example i can use, and based on the LDAP i could probably also make the Basic username and password provider, but havent found anything similar on Azure AD. All i have found is that, i need to add 2-3 dependencies to the project for the Azure AD and then it automagically works.
I dont understand spring security that much, so im stumped atm. Can i just trust the automagic to do everything correctly, or are there some resouces on how to create AzureADAuthenticationProvider i could use with AuthenticationManagerBuilder?
An authentication provider is an abstraction for accessing user information from LDAP, custom third-party source, database etc. it validates the user credentials.
Spring security with azure ad:
Firstly, azure ad is integrated with Spring security for secure your application.
User login through their credential and get validate by azure AD.
From azure graph API you have to access token and membership information.
Membership for role based authorization.
LDAP Authentication:
Unique LDAP or DN ,you can perform search in directory unless you know username to DNS is known in advance.
You can authenticate the user by binding that user.
Load the Number of authorities for the user.
Custom Authentication Provider:
Create own authentication (custom) with the help of authentication provider interface in which you can use
authenticate method and implementing it and make authentication object with username and password of user
Then after you can configure these authentication in spring security configuration.
Here is the Reference Link regarding Spring Security
There have been a few changes in our environment recently. No when going to the Office 365 login page, when we click to sigh in it redirects us to GoDaddy SSO home page and then will not accept the ADFS credentials to log in. We use GoDaddy for external DNS
The recent changes have been:
Autodiscover pointing to outlook.office365.com instead of on premises
ADFS proxy changed to use WAP servers instead of using the Netscaler for proxy
Azure MFA enabled o ADFS
POP and IMAP disabled for all user mailboxes.
We simply want to be able to sign into the office 365 portal like everyone else does.
Any assistance would be great.
Thanks
This is not a DNS problems. It has more to do with Federation. When you try to logon to the Office 365 portal it would require you to provide your username and password and any MFA prompt if already setup. The O365 system will check the UPN suffix of your username and redirect you to https://login.microsoftonline.com/common endpoint which will further try to find out about your domain. It will check whether the domain's authentication is managed or federated. In case of managed it means the system is federated with Microsoft federation system and the authentication is managed in the cloud. If it is federated , it can be federate to your own federation service like on-premise ADFS or OKTA , auth0 etc. or it can be federated with any O365 syndicate Network (O365 through godaddy , dell etc.) .
In your case if you are getting redirected to Godaddy SSO then it seems you are using the Office 365 mail plans by godaddy. It is not possible to federate to this system and you will have to buy a license directly from Microsoft and migrate your federation setup completely to Microsoft Office 365 in order to get that kind of control because godaddy does not allow you to go to Office 365 management portal and they provide their own O365 management portal which does not allow multiple management operations.
If you want to federate it with your on-premise ADFS you would need to move the users and the email domain to a new Microsoft O365 tenant. And you can then federate your domain with your ADFS environment. You will need to buy Office 365 directly through Microsoft or via any CSP and in this case it will provide you complete control on the O365 tenant instance unlike godaddy. Godaddy Office365 offering was not designed keeping the on-premise federation in mind. It was mainly designed for small businesses who just required email-on-the-go along with a domain name with some features of Office365. I am not an expert of the same but this is what I understand of it with the experience I have had in the past going through a few of these scenarios.
You need to create a new tenant and buy same office 365 licenses directly from Microsoft. You would need to create all your users in your new tenant . Have the users to export their Mailboxes and create PST files. You can use third party O365 migration tools or do it manually . This method will require some downtime but with careful planning you can minimize it .
Use this Office 365 article to export PST of user mailboxes .
When you buy Office365 through godaddy, the Godaddy system creates a tenant which is named something as NETORGxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com where xxxxxx denotes an alphanumeric serial number. And your email domain which you bought with godaddy will be associated with this tenant . You will need to move this domain to another new tenant in order to use it with your on-prem ADFS . You can call godaddy support to dissociate your domain from the godaddy tenant and they can do it for you . But if you want to do it yourself without calling them you can follow the following steps. In this case you will need to find the admin user for your godaddy tenant. In order to do that please follow the steps below.
Have the user who set godaddy Office365 system first time , logon to the Azure portal . https://portal.azure.com .
Once you logon to the Azure portal you must be able to find the Azure active directory blade .
Click on the same and open Azure Active directory >> Users >>
Try to find the admin user here the account should look something like admin#NETORGxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com .
Please reset the password for this account admin#NETORGxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com .
This is the account which we will use to convert our godaddy email domain for managed authentication from Godaddy SSO .
Alternatively you can promote another account to global Admin role but I have not tested it in the past whether that will work or not .
Now please install the Powershell Module MSonline on your system . Or AzureAD powershell module. Please see linked article for the same. Also the PowerShell cmdlets sometimes can take longer depending upon number of users in your tenants and other factors so give it enough time.
After this logon to the Office 365 instance by following cmdlets.
Connect-Msolservice
Connect-ExchangeOnline
Now you require to enable Organization customization .
Enable-OrganizationCustomization
After this use the admin user account for which you reset the password and run the below cmdlet for that user.
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "ApplicationImpersonation" -User "admin#NETORGxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com"
you can now check the domain name which we want to change authentication method for .
Get-MsolDomain
The above command will list all the domains associated with your tenant . In case of godaddy it should be one which will appear as federated.
Now we will run the following command to remove the federation.
Set-MsolDomainAuthentication -DomainName "<your org domain name>" -Authentication Managed
To check whether it has been completed , you can run Get-MsolDomain again and check the status of domain. It should be managed.
Now you can remove the domain from here and take it to another tenant without a problem.
Once this is done. By this time you must already have your users created on the new domain and you may need to import the mailboxes of the users to your new tenant. You can use this one for importing the PST files to users mailboxes.
Once done you can federate the Office 365 domain from your on-premise ADFS server as you had done before and it would work without an issue. I understand it is not a simple process but Godady Office 365 Offering does not allow federation with any other system than godaddy SSO . So if you would like to change it to your on-premise ADFS system you may need to move to a new tenant completely . It is a cumbersome process but many small businesses who are on a growth path like to have more control do migrate out of godaddy as their business grows and needs change.
we have user credentials in an on-premise ADFS.we have adfs installed on a machine,how to establish trust between sharepoint online and adfs?How do we get adfs url that authenticates user credentials and generates security token?
You need to Set up a trust between AD FS and Azure AD. Run the powershell:
Connect-MsolService
Set-MsolAdfscontext -Computer <AD FS primary server>
Convert-MsolDomainToFederated –DomainName <domain>

I have configured an ADFS server and I am in the process of integrating ADFS with Azure AD so that users can sign into Office 365 with on-prem AD credentials and I think it's pretty straight forward to make this work.
Where I am struggling at the moment is to identify the impact to our computers. All computers are purely Azure AD joined windows 10 computers and users use Windows Hello PIN to sing into it at the moment. I am hoping that after integrating Azure AD with ADFS that users will be able to sign in to their computers with their On-Prem Active Directory password and hence get a claims token from the ADFS server such that they can access any application configured for SSO seamlessly without entering their credentials once they are signed into their computers.
Can someone please let me know if there is anyway that I can test the impact of this change exclusively with a test user account by syncing only one domain user credentials using Azure AD connect / ADFS? Or is this a change that will impact all users in a organisation? If it affects all users / computers, can someone please let me know if they have done something like this and what could the potential impact be?
Thank you in advance.
I guess I can answer this question myself after making the change:
1.Impact of the change:
This is done at a domain level , so it impacts all the users.
2. Windows Hello PIN users impact:
It doesn't impact these users, they can continue to user Windows Hello PIN facility. However, users can login with their email address and AD password after the change
3. Do users get a claims token after logging on to their computers?:
No, after logging into their PC's they will again need to sign into the AD FS portal. I didn't use Azure SSO option on AD FS configuration.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I've read many articles about ADFS setup and what-not, but what I'm failing to understand (since this is not my primary area of work or interest) is if its actually capable of handling what I need handled.
That is: I have a Sharepoint server on domain "domainA". Now, I've been told that using ADFS, I can "delegate" permissions to other external AD's. The way I'm understanding it is, that I can say this other company using "domainB" is allowed to login to my sharepoint server? Is this at all correct? So users of both "domainA" and "domainB" is allowed to login, and I can set sharepoint permissions with users of both AD's?
ADFS is an instance of a Security Token System (STS).
SP 2010 has its own STS which can be federated with an instance of ADFS in Domain A which allows users to authenticate via the Domain A AD. These users are configured to receive a set of claims from the Domain A AD which SP 2010 uses as permissions (i.e. authorisation).
If you have another domain - Domain B - the normal practice is to install another instance of ADFS on that domain and then federate the two ADFS. These users will also receive a set of claims.
Now users in Domain A authenticate on the Domain A AD and users in Domain B authenticate on the Domain B AD and both have access to the SP2010 application.
To decide where to authenticate, the user will be presented with a Home Realm Discovery screen which will ask them where they want to authenticate. This is out-of-the-box behaviour.
