ADFS External Authentications Test

AD FS allows organizations to integrate with wide range of external authentication providers, for example Azure Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), or custom authentication mechanisms into their ADFS authentication process. Integrating the external authentication provider with the AD FS offers greater flexibility, improved security, and the ability to meet specific business requirements. The ADFS External Authentications test monitors the external authentication providers integrated with the AD FS server and, for each external authentication provider, reports the time taken for authentication at the provider end and the target server end.

Target of the test : An AD FS server

Agent deploying the test : An external agent
