Define the Federated SSO
Definition
Allowing two companies to share a resource via a federation where one company has the accounts that need access while the other company provides the resource
Term
From a security stand point where should you place a federation server
Definition
in the internal network
Term
From a security standpoint how should you treat a federated services server
Definition
treat a Federation Services server just like you treat a domain controller. In other words you should take extra steps in securing a FS server
Term
What are the three basic certificates required by FS 2.0
Definition
Token-signing certificate,Service Communucation Certificate,Token-Decryption Certificate
Term
Define the Token-Signing Certificate used by AD FS2.0
Definition
This is a self-signed certificate that is created during the install. This cerificate is used to sign the tokens created by that FS server
Term
Define the Service Communication certificate used by FS2.0
Definition
this is the server authentication that is used to secure Web services(same certificate bound in IIS)
Term
Define the Token-decryption certificate
Definition
Is used by the resource federation server to decrypt tokens recieved from the account partner(is a self-signed certificate created during installation and can be changed later)
Term
What are the DNS entries that should be created to provide name resolution
Definition
the DNS server should have an A record for the federation server or if there is a load-balancing federation cluster you will need a A record with the IP of the cluster
Term
What is the purpose of the account partners FS server
Definition
to authenticate users and issue tokens to be revice by the resource partner
Term
What is the purpose of the resource partners FS server
Definition
to read claims and assign tokens to local resources while the client is connected
Term
Name the primary reason to deploy a federation server proxy
Definition
When you do not want external clients accessing your federation server directly
Term
******Remember******
Definition
The federated server proxies does not have access to the keys that create tokens
Term
What is the purpose of the federation services server proxy on the account partner side
Definition
To collect user credentials from client browser and passing them on to the internal federation server.
Term
What is the purpose of the federation server proxy on the resource partner
Definition
To relay security tokens that come from the account partner when users in the account partner try to access Federation Services in the resource parnter
Term
What type of certificate is required for the federated services cluster
Definition
The proxy needs a Server Authentication Certificate to interact with Web Clients
Term
If you want an FS 2.0 machine to consume claims from FS 1.x what do you need to do
Definition
Manually create a Claims Provider Trust,Rule must be created to send a FS 1.x compatible claim
Term
If you want FS 2.0 to send claims to a FS 1.x federation server
Definition
Manually create a relying party trust,Create a rule to send the FS 1.x compatible claim, The FS 1.x admin sets up a new account partner trust
Term
If you want to send claims to a FS 1.x claims aware Web Agent
Definition
Manually create a relying party trust, FS 1.x admin edits the web.config file to point to the FS 2.0 federation service web agent, Create a rule to sen a FS 1.x compatible claim
