All the directions I've been following state that to test your ADFS deployment once completed you can go to:
https://<FQDN>/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon
I was able to access the site, BUT was receiving a fairly unhelpful error "An error occurred":
Looking at the ADFS event logs, it stated (in abbreviated form):
Long story short, apparently there is an ADFS property (EnableIdpInitiatedSignonPage) that by default is set to False. It took me a while to figure out, hopefully this will help someone else.
To check it, open Powershell and run:
- Get-AdfsProperties
- Check to see if EnableIpdInitiatedSignonPage is set to False:
- If it is, run: Set-AdfsProperties -EnableIdpInitiatedSignonPage $true
- Test your ADFS web page again (no need to restart):
- You should be able to sign on now (hopefully).
