  • Use pysFEMMA to refresh and verify metadata (since AD FS 2.0 will not consume SAML metadata whose root element is an <md:EntitiesDescriptor> element)
  • Ensure that all SP partners support and use SAML V2.0 (since AD FS 2.0 does not support SAML V1.1)
  • Ensure that all SP partners follow InCommon recommendations regarding certificates in metadata. Specifically:
    • certificates should be self-signed (since AD FS 2.0 will actually try to check any CRLs or OCSP endpoints contained in the certificate)
    • certificates should not be expired (since AD FS 2.0 will not consume an <md:EntityDescriptor> element that contains an expired certificate)
    • certificates should not be shared (since AD FS 2.0 will not consume two <md:EntityDescriptor> elements that contain the same certificate)
    • redundant certificates should be avoided (since AD FS 2.0 will not consume an <md:EntityDescriptor> element containing more than one encryption key)
  • Ensure that no SP partners include a <samlp:Scoping> element in the AuthnRequest (since AD FS 2.0 will reject such a request)

Recognizing the limitations of AD FS, the international REFEDs community is calling upon Microsoft to address this situation. Visit the adfstoolkit.org web site to add your voice to this effort.
