This is the adfs service. This service publishes the endpoints that one communicates with. So when you request federation metadata, the service responds. See ADFS console's service/endpoints for a list of URLs that are handled by this service. The website is merely used to serve the web pages for /adfs/ls virtual directory for purposes like home realm discovery. This is a key difference from the old ADFS 1.0 included in-box with the OS. That runs as a web application in IIS. The new version 2.0 is a separate service. |
