Configure the URI field with a valid value

Configure the URI field of the account partner or resource partner with a valid uniform resource identifier (URI) value:

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

  1. On the federation server, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Federation Services.
  2. In the console tree, under Partner Organizations, find the appropriate partner, right-click the partner, and then click Properties.
  3. On the General tab, type a valid Federation Service URI value.

A URI is a compact string of characters that identifies an abstract resource or a physical resource. Specifically, the URI that you configure here is the unique name or location for the realm that is hosted by this Federation Service (farm). A URI consists of a scheme name, followed by a colon, followed by some scheme-specific data.

All Uniform Resource Names (URNs) and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), such as http, ldap, gopher, and ftp, are valid URIs. You can also use your own custom URI format, for example, fed://identity-sts.

Verify

Verify that you can access the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)-enabled application from a client browser and that the resource can be accessed.
