ADFS and SharePoint on premises - Really the right way ?

All of our SharePoint 2013/2016 installations use ADFS as STS together with HNSC. From what I read this is supposed to be best practice and while I don't mind (actually like) the HNSC part, using any...

Hi Trevor,

I was about to use ADFS with SharePoint 2013 to enable SSO with another third party application hosted on ColdFusion and using a custom database, by creating trust between ADFS and STS of that application, let me know if that is the right way to go?

Thanks

As long as your CF app supports SAML or Windows Kerberos auth, sure. That's less of a technical question and more of a business decision.

HI Trevor,

I have similar situation with one external face hub site using ADFS/SAML. I need to publish an SharePoint 2016 site for external access, and hub site can have single sign-on to SP2016 site. As current SP2016 site is using Kerberos and has lot of SSRS reports, BI an data warehousing connections, it is might not be suitable to use ADFS/SAML as ideneity provider.

Could you please kindly advise whether by using ADFS 3.0 non-claim aware to publish SP2016 site will give me SSO from hub site (SMAL) to SP2016 site (Kerberos)? Thanks.
