Federation Server Communication

Federation Server communication is communication between federation servers and federation server proxies. A federation server proxy should be updated from the Federation Service.

Federation Service Proxy Logging

You can use Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) log files to troubleshoot issues with the federation server proxy. The creation and updating of AD FS log files are monitored here.
