To verify that the AD FS-enabled Web server can access the Federation Service URL specified in the web.config file:
1.On the AD FS-enabled Web server that is hosting the claims-aware agent, locate the web.config file for your claims-aware application, and then open it with Notepad. This file should be located in \inetpub\wwwroot\virtualdirectory, where your claims-aware application files are stored.
2.Check that the value between the fs tags is a valid Federation Service URL. To do this:
a.On the AD FS-enabled Web server, copy the value between the fs tags in the web.config file, paste it into the address bar of a Web browser, and then hit ENTER.
b.If a Web page with the title FederationServerService is displayed, then you have successfully verified that the Web server can communicate with a resource federation server and that the Federation Service URL is valid.
