Upcoming Webcasts

TechNet Webcast: Web Single Sign-On and Identity Federation with Active Directory

Organizations are extending their information technology (IT) infrastructure to provide partners with Web-based access to Web-facing applications. This presents IT with difficult administrative and security challenges. This webcast provides you with an overview of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Active Directory Federation Services, a component that enables Extranet Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Federation. Learn how extranet SSO technology enables access control in an unmanaged, non-domain environment, and provides security and personalization for users of Web-based applications. See how Identity Federation technology enables more secure sharing of identity information across security boundaries, and reduces administrative complexity and security challenges that accompany the sharing of applications with business partners.
