Not: Powershell Install-ADFSStandAlone
We’re not going for StandAlone which is no more for 2012 R2 btw.
Not: Stand Alone federation.
Not: ADFS Web Agents
The Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Web Agent is a component of ADFS. It is used to consume
security tokens and either allow or deny a user access to a Web application. To accomplish this, the Web
server requires a relationship with a resource Federation Service so that it can direct the user to the Federation
Service as needed.
