ADFS Integration

Alternative options for integration - ADFS (on-premise).

Written by Camilla Orloff

Didn't find what you were looking for in the Integration Hub? You might have an on-premise setup, and we've got you covered.

But what is ADFS?

ADFS, or Active Directory Federation Services, always implies Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality.
​

Opting for ADFS means implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities tailored to your local environment. It's important to note that ADFS is hosted locally by you, setting it apart from cloud-based solutions like Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). So whereas, for example, Entra ID (Azure) AD is in the cloud, ADFS is on-premise (locally hosted).
​

Unlike Entra ID (Azure AD), ADFS does not offer a direct API for integration. Instead, integration with ADFS involves exchanging metadata, allowing for seamless communication between systems.

So, how does it work with us?

Since ADFS is not cloud-based with no API, our integration process revolves around exchanging metadata to establish connectivity and enable SSO functionality.
​

With Learningbank, we've established a standard integration employing 'just-in-time'. This entails users being generated upon their initial login, with updates occurring only upon subsequent logins.

​
​To set up ADFS, simply provide us with your App Federation Metadata URL, and we'll set it up for you.

💡 TIP: You're able to prepare your platform with job profiles and departments, if you would like to automatically enable Journeys for your users.
