Web Agent for Claims-Aware Applications
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
The claims-aware agent is used on a Web server that hosts a claims-aware application to allow the querying of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) security token claims. A claims-aware application is a Microsoft ASP.NET application that uses claims that are present in an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) security token to make authorization decisions and provide additional application personalization.
