Example Scenario
0.00
AD FS will allow my partners to authenticate to
SharePoint (2007 or 2010) or custom (WIF based)
web applications hosted by my organization.
0.00
AD FS will provide interoperability with a
federation product or application that uses the
SAML 2.0 protocol

2.In the cells under the label Estimate Peak Load on System, you will enter
characteristics of what you expect the peak load on your AD FS deployment to be.
First, click the cell labeled "During the peak system usage period, I expect this
percentage of my users to authenticate:" and select a percentage of users you would
expect to login during a "peak" timeframe. Next, in the cell labeled "within the
following period of time:" select a duration for that timeframe. For example, you may
estimate that 40% of your users will login within 15 minutes, or that 60% will login
within 1 hour. This defines the peak load profile for which your sizing recommendation
will be calculated.
3.In the cells beneath the label Enter information about applications, you will
enter the number of applications for which you expect to provide federated
authentication via AD FS. First, enter the number of applications internal to your
organization in numeric form, for example 1 or 5. Then, enter the number of online
(software as a service) applications in numeric form. For example, if you plan to use
SharePoint, Exchange, and Lync Online, enter 3.
4.In the Number of Users column, type a number on each row that applies to the
type of user and access method. This column should contain the number of defined
users, not the peak users per second. If access attempts made to the application must
first go through the home realm discovery page, type Y. If you are unsure of this
selection, type Y.
Result: The total number of recommended federation servers will appear in the lower
right cell. The number of servers required for each scenario will appear at the far right
on the corresponding row.
