Setting up Federation Services (FS) in a Windows 2008 (WS08) environment: Part 5: Configuring the FS server in the Resource domain

In my last post, we configured the FS for the account domain. Now let's complete the FS setup by configuring the FS in the resource domain.

STEP 5: FS - Configuring the Federation Servers (Resource domain)
To set up the Federarion Services in a resource domain, you need to perform four steps: trust policy, group claim, the infamous account store configuration & configuring the claims-aware application.

A) Trust policy configuration

B) Creating the group claim for the claims-aware application

C) Creating the AD DS account store

D) Configuring a claims-aware application
Here it starts getting different. Since we don't have the security group in this domain, we can't simply add it here. Instead, we add a claims-aware application:
1. Open Active Directory Federation Services and browse to Trust Policy --> My Organization and right click Applications to add a new Application.

2. In the Wizard, choose Claims-aware application, then enter a name and in the URL point to the application you created earlier.

3. Select User principal name (UPN) as a Accepted Identity Claim and Enable the application.
