There is a lot of information on how to link SharePoint 2010 or 2013 to\u00a0an AD FS instance. But for some reason, most of those blogs include a manual step to enable the newly created authentication provider in Central Admin. I don’t like manual steps, so here is a little script which does the same, but in Powershell instead:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
$issuerName = \"ADFS\"\r\n$webApp_Url = \"https:\/\/portal.contoso.com\/\"\r\n$webApp_zone = \"Default\"\r\n\r\n# Get the list of currently configured authentication providers in the specified webapp\/zone\r\n$authProviders = Get-SPAuthenticationProvider -WebApplication $webApp_Url -Zone $webApp_zone\r\n\r\n# Check if the provider is already present, otherwise skip adding it\r\nif (($providers | ? { $_.DisplayName -eq $issuerName }) -eq $null)\r\n{\r\n\t# create an array which will hold the new list of authentication providers\r\n\t$newProviders = @()\r\n\r\n # add all the previously configured providers to the list\r\n\tforeach ($provider in $authProviders)\r\n\t{\r\n\t\t$newProviders += $provider\r\n\t}\r\n\r\n\t# add our new provider \r\n\t$newProviders += New-SPAuthenticationProvider -TrustedIdentityTokenIssuer $issuerName\r\n\t\r\n # configure the web application (zone) to use this new list of providers\r\n\tSet-SPWebApplication -Identity $webApp_Url -Zone $webApp_zone -AuthenticationProvider $newProviders\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is a lot of information on how to link SharePoint 2010 or 2013 to\u00a0an AD FS instance.
