ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services)

Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is a Microsoft technology that allows users to log in to multiple applications and services using a single set of credentials, such as a username and password. It establishes a trust between different organizations or services, enabling secure access to resources without the need for multiple logins. ADFS is commonly used for single sign-on (SSO), meaning once a user is authenticated, they can seamlessly access various affiliated services without repeated logins. This streamlines user experience and enhances security by managing access centrally.
