General Notes
This service is easy enough to get up and running using server manager. In my case I have Server 2016 Core running in AWS on a private subnet.
You do need to ensure you have the following
- A certificate for the publicly accessible fqdn. i.e. sts.yourdomain.tld. This does NOT need to match your internal domain.
- A CSR can be created using Windows MMC[1] and is easy to do.
- Make sure to import the acquired cert back into the same system that created the CSR, then export the whole thing with key.
- Have a dedicated service account created in AD.
- Firewall issues will get you if you are not careful
Enable test page
[2]This is used to test sign in.
I was able to log in from both the native domain as well as a trusted domain without further configuration.
Set-AdfsProperties –EnableIdpInitiatedSignonPage $True
Then go to https://sts.yourdomain.tld/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.htm
