There are some prerequisites to be aware of before deploying the LoadMaster with AD FS.

It is assumed that the AD FS 2.0 environment is already set up and the LoadMaster has been installed. We recommend reviewing the LoadMaster Web User Interface (WUI), Configuration Guide.

At a minimum, the following actions should be completed:

  • Implemented Active Directory, AD FS, Domain Name System (DNS), Federation Server Proxy (FSP), and other Microsoft requirements
  • Configured the application servers to support claims-based authentication
  • Installed the LoadMaster on the same network as the servers
  • Established access to the LoadMaster WUI
