Frequently asked questions

Claims-based authentication uses a security token service (STS) to issue security tokens that include information about a user, such as their username and groups. This allows Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server to verify the identity of users and grant them access to the appropriate resources.

Federation trusts are relationships between different identity providers. They allow users from one organization to authenticate to resources in another organization without having to create separate accounts.

To configure claims-based authentication for internal access, you need to deploy and configure AD FS, configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server for claims-based authentication, configure AD FS for claims-based authentication, and test internal claims-based authentication.
