You probably have heard about federation services and how they can extend your investments in Active Directory beyond your organization. But what you may not know is that good federation service comes with excellent features and functions. One of them is its ability to support multiple types of authentication by extending AD FS functionality. With this feature’s help, it becomes easier to integrate with a multitude of software packages. A good federation service will also authenticate users whether they exist in multiple ADs, LDAP directories and databases. Additionally, such supplemental service can be extended and trusted in your AD FS deployment, which will then enable easy authentication of users against the data stores other than AD, such as Sun Directory and other databases. It can provide your company with methods for AD FS deployment authentication similar to the traditional username and password, Single Sign-On, CAC and Windows-integrated authentication. In order for the organization to make sure they have chosen the right software that offers capabilities of preventing denial of service, it should be noted that an organization that is established in the business can offer you with a more reliable, effective and easy-to-use federation service software. It must be capable of leveraging authentication methods for Active Directory Federation Service and of carrying out auditing ADFS and must also have extra features such as 2-Factor ADFS. Different supplemental federation offerings provide different features and capabilities, making it important to understand the needs of your organization before deciding on the right service for you. These services also offer multiple authentication methods for ADFS. With the availability of multiple authentication methods you can eliminate the hassle that often comes with the implementation of federation services where support for some applications is not available. Doing proper research will help you choose the right supplemental service for your needs.
