There have been some post on migrating from Microsoft ADFS to Microsoft Azure setup as ASDF Connection type. In our case, we have setup the original connection as Custom SAML Connection type. I’m assuming it “should” work since ASDF Connection Type is a convenience layer on SAML type. Can someone confirm that my assumption is valid?  
Thank you

Hi @rsung

Thank you for reaching out to us!

You are indeed correct, the ADFS Connection Type is designed as a streamlined SAML Connection and should work correctly for your use case. As with SAML Connections, you will need to keep in mind some aspects in order to ensure a smooth migration, such as : correctly mapping the attributes, confirming the NameID format, ensure the correct Signing Certificate etc.

I can recommend the following documentation as reference to assist you along the way:  
[Set Up Azure AD as a SAML Enterprise Connection in Auth0](https://community.auth0.com/t/setting-up-azure-ad-as-saml-enterprise-connection/87829)

Hope that helped!  
Gerald
