ADFS web server setup

Question

I am very very new to ADFS 2.0, i have been using Domain trust and i am doing some research on ADFS 2.0 to convert my current web app to ADFS 2.0, question i have is

1. Does the Web server needs to be on a perimeter network facing internet? or i can use web proxy or if federation proxy supports that built in for web server too.
2. Does my SSL cert needs to be on my IIS or i can host it on my load balancer?

1. Also do i need to have .net 3.0 and above to use adfs with asp.net?

Answer 1

For ADFS, you can install an ADFS proxy that is accessible to the Internet. This communicates with an instance of ADFS which can be behind a firewall.

ADFS requires a "Service communications" certificate which typically uses the SSL certificate of the IIS that hosts ADFS.

I detailed the WIF requirements in my other answer to you.

ADFS requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 together with Service Pack 1.
