Windows Azure Pack Authentication Part 3.5 – Using ADFS
Since we looked at using a custom IdP for Windows Azure Pack last time I figured it would be good to explicitly list some resources for those looking to use ADFS instead as that’s a fairly common scenario people are exploring.

In the previous installments of this series we looked at how Windows Azure Pack authenticates users and how it’s configured out of the box for federation. This time around we’re going to look at how you can configure federation with a third party IdP. Microsoft designed Windows Azure Pack the right way. It supports federation with industry protocols out of the box. You can’t say that for many services, and you certainly can’t say that those services support it natively for all versions – more often than not you have to pay extra for it. Windows Azure Pack supports federation, and actually uses it…

Windows Azure Pack Authentication Part 1
Recently Microsoft released their on-premise Private Cloud offering called Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server.
