Re: ADFS Experience

We set it up for use with Office365 when I was at UIowa, it works pretty well for that. You might consider reaching out 
to the WinHiEd community for help, a ton of those folks have done this http://www.windows-hied.org/ 

Best,

Also, I had to go through their documentation for setting up ADFS a few times very carefully. It changed while I was 
setting things up, but it did seem to have at least links to everything I needed to get the basics set up. 

One other thing that caused some frustration was dealing with the signing certificates. ADFS helpfully warns when the 
certificates are getting old, but the warning didn’t (for me) get silenced when the certificates were updated. It 
complained until the offending certificate expired. That was frustrating because it made me uncertain about whether I 
had correctly set up the new signing certificate.

I’ve been away from the management of it for a while, but I set up ADFS with office 365, and it worked OK. There’s no 
self-service account reset, etc, with ADFS, which was one of the main features that I personally found lacking. I found 
attempting to customize ADFS to be quite difficult, and I never was able to do it, though admittedly I wasn’t able to 
put as much into trying as I would have liked.

We are looking at implementing ADFS for use with both Office 365 as well as on-site Sharepoint 2013 (with Ellucian 
Portal more specifically). I’m looking for input from anyone who has implemented ADFS for either/both of those and what 
their experience has been. I’m also interested in the on-going maintenance and problems experienced managing ADFS.
