Hi, Creating the Relying Party trust fails for me when trying to setup IFD

"An error occurred during an attempt to read the federation metadata. Very that the specified URL or host name is a valid federation metadata endpoint."

I've followed this tutorial exactly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9jZIxDTsBw

I've configured claims based authentication in deployment manager and the URL mentioned https://servername:444/federationmetadata... is shown at the end of the wizard... however it still fails. Why is this URL not available to my configuration when configuring the relying party trust?

When trying to browse the URL: https://auth.domainname.com:444/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml i get.

"An error has occurred."

Not much help, i know.

Hello Tyler,

I would start by verifiying that you can reach the internal Federation metadata URL at:

internalcrm.domainname.com/.../federationmetadata.xml

If this resolves correctly, then I would verify your DNS entries for IFD are correct.

Next I would re-run the Configure IFD Wizard and verify that:

Web Application & Organization URL's are:

domainname.com:444

The Discovery URL is:

dev.domainname.com:444

Ensure you have auth.domainname.com:444 listed in the External Domain url.

Lastly verify you don't have a firewall blocking access to ports 443 and 444.

I would also look at capturing a Fiddler Trace when trying to access the Auth URL in I.E.

Hope this helps answer your question.

Best Regards,
