Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) 2.0, part of the federation platform codenamed ‘Geneva’, has been released to the web today!
ADFS helps IT enable users to collaborate across organizational boundaries and easily access applications on-premises and in the cloud, while maintaining application security. Through a claims-based infrastructure, IT can enable a single sign-on (SSO) experience for end-users to applications without requiring a separate account or password, whether applications are located in partner organizations or hosted in the cloud.
