Introduction to ADFS 2.0

 

Functionalities available in versions 3.3.1 and higher

 

This new functionality allows you to use Windows accounts that are found in a distant Active Directory. (For example, if you have partners that wish to be able to connect to your web application with their Windows account.)

 

You can federate multiple Active Directories belonging to distinct networks or companies. The administrator of each Active Directory declares Windows accounts or groups in a central repository managed by Visual Guard. All the users in these Active Directories can then access applications secured by Visual Guard. Thus we obtain a centralized security system, even though the users are distributed across completely separate Windows domains.
