We have

One ADFS farm included 2 ADFS Server
Primary Server: adfs01
2nd Server: adfs02
Farm Name: adfs.domain.com

We have an application will link up with our ADFS farm (production environment) to built up the SSO connection.

The application will use SAML or OAuth as the protocol for the SSO session. We got the application will built up the trust reply between the application and ADFS farm. Brief setting below

  • Replying Party Trusts
  • Claims Trusts

Question

  1. How can we identify the ADFS in Active / Passive or Active Active mode? In adfs02 ADFS management that is come up the message “ This computer is not the primary federation server in the farm” I guess our farm is running under the Active Active Mode. Please correct me if i’m wrong.
  2. Is it possible to use one ADFS server for the testing and doesn’t affect the production environment? or we have other method for the testing ?

If we apply the setting on our existing production ADFS server which think we need to consider before deploy the configuration.

  • ADFS Configuration Backup / Restore
  • VM snapshot
  • Others

Thanks a lot
