Scenario 4: Federated authentication: TotalAgility on-premise with partner AD

The following diagram describes claims-based authentication where TotalAgility on-premise uses federated security to authenticate with a local on-premise federated provider (such as AD FS) that itself federates to a remote partner installation of Windows Server AD FS 2.0.

Claims-based authentication - TotalAgility on-premise with partner AD

One

The Client accesses remote TotalAgility, and Windows Server AD learns which STSs it trusts.

Two

Windows Server AD accesses remote on-premise STS and learns which STSs it trusts.

Three

Windows Server AD with AD FS 2.0 provides STS that authenticates the Client and returns a token.

Four

Windows Server AD requests the FP token for TotalAgility.

Five

Windows Server AD and Federated Provider STS issue the FP token for TotalAgility.

Six

Windows Server AD submits the FP token to TotalAgility via the Client.

Seven

TotalAgility uses the token issued by STS and extracts the claims from the token.
