Re: ADFS experience with Sharepoint and other SSO/SAML systems

Hi Tomas.
At ITESM we use it just as you described.
We have federated our O365 tenant, as well as local applications and cloud ones (Success Factos and Concur), and we are 
in the process to federate Yammer.
We have to set up a farm of a cluster database and a few internal and external servers, because we have 100K students 
and 40K employees.
The reliability is good but recommend a farm depending on your number of users.
The administration is quite easy, just the work to set up each application into the federation, and everyone have 
turned some different to federate.
Hope this helps, and if you want a deeper insight, feel free to Contac me.

Regards.

Subject: [SECURITY] ADFS experience with Sharepoint and other SSO/SAML systems

We're looking to implement ADFS for single sign on for a Sharepoint 2013 portal we are implementing. We would also use 
it for other SAML compliant systems on and off campus as well as for Office 365 which is currently using DirSync. I'm 
looking for experiences with ADFS in that type of environment, particularly with reliability and manageability. We're a 
small school and don't have the staff for a product that requires too much baby sitting.
