ADFS configuration is
quite a complex section in which one small mistake leads to hours of
troubleshooting as well as its respective resolution.
We are facing some weird
error while configuring the web application proxy in Windows Server 2012 R2:
ADFS
proxy could not be configured. Unable to retrieve proxy configuration
data from the federation Server.
While
troubleshooting the issue, we found one Microsoft KB which talks about this
update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013769
Most probable cause would be: This issue occurs when finding DRS objects times
out. The Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) service tries to connect
to every global catalog in the forest during DRS discovery. However, the DRS
objects cannot be found because DRS is not initialized. Therefore, AD FS proxy
times out.
But that didn’t resolves the
issue in my case so I tried it from the scratch with the help of http://thesharepointfarm.com/2014/02/sharepoint-and-the-web-application-proxy-role/
- which resolves the issue for me but still didn’t clear as what went wrong!
Another step of troubleshooting
that you can check is to check the
certificates on ADFS Proxy.
If
you have any further queries or questions then please let me know. I would be
more than happy to help you as well resolves your issues J
