Hi @marko.milanovic,

Welcome and thank you for posting in Auth0 Community! :tada:

Can you please share what type of connection are you using? There are two kind of protocols, it looks like they are using the Ws-Federation protocol.

We have two connection types that can connect to ADFS:

  • “ADFS” connections (which should really be called “WS-Federation” connection, as that’s the protocol used)
  • SAML connections

They both work because ADFS supports both the WS-Federation and the SAML protocols.

For each connection protocol we have different metadata URLs and entity ID used.

  • SAML:

    • The format of the entity id is “urn:auth0::<connection_name>”
    • The metadata is obtained at https://{your_auth0_domain}/samlp/metadata?connection=<connection_name>
    • Instructions for ADFS set up are here: Configure ADFS as SAML Identity Provider

  • WS-Federation:

    • The format of the entity id is “urn:auth0:” (the connection name does not appear in there)
    • The metadata is obtained at https://{your_auth0_domain}/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml
    • Instructions for ADFS set up are here: Connect Your App to ADFS

Can you please ask your customer to send us the metadata file? You can send me the file in a PM. Thank you!
