Deploying and Managing Active Directory Federation Services in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2

This two-day course provides the students with the knowledge and skills that they need to effectively deploy and manage Active Directory Federation Services using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. Specifically, students learn what ADFS is and how it can be used to provide Web-based single-sign-on (SSO) for users to authenticate to multiple Web applications over the life of a single online session.

Doelgroep

The target audience for this course is primarily the Enterprise level IT Specialist, or the Mid Market IT Generalist. Attendees should have at least 2-3 years experience using Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2.
