New documentation: Deploying AD RMS with AD FS (Windows Server 2012 R2)

  • Article

Now published, tried and tested step-by-step instructions: Deploying Active Directory Rights Management Services with Active Directory Federation Services

We heard that customers had a hard time figuring out the configuration steps needed here for Windows Server 2012 R2.  There have a been a lot of changes to AD FS since the original topic, AD RMS with AD FS Identity Federation Step-by-Step Guide that was written for Windows Server 2008.  At first, we tried updating this original topic.  But we soon discovered that there were too many changes between the different versions of AD FS. So instead, we focused on this new topic for Windows Server 2012 R2 . Note that the instructions will not work for Windows Server 2012 - it's for Windows Server 2012 R2 only (and, we hope, the next version of Windows Server).

    In the section to 'Add a claims provider trust and claim rules to ContosoADFS' in the new documentation. It says to add 2 claim rules, but only lists one. Is this a typo or is the guide actually missing the second rule?

    Reason being after following the guide I am getting password prompt from the Trey client when accessing ContosoFS URL and also when trying to open a protected document from the Contoso domain. It is my understanding that this should be transparent.
