Configuring ADFS Servers to Record Auditing of ADFS Events to the Security Log

All ADFS-related audits that are made specifically to the security log are considered by the system to be object access–type audits, which by default are ignored by the system. For this reason, to ensure that ADFS-related audits (specifically Success Audits and Failure Audits) appear in the Security log, you need to manually configure the Local Security Policy, using the procedure below. You must apply the steps in this procedure to all of the ADFS servers (federation servers, federation server proxies, and Web servers hosting the ADFS Web Agent) before enabling success or failure auditing in the Trust Policy properties of the ADFS snap-in. This will allow the Federation Service to log either success or failure errors.

This procedure has no effect on the events that ADFS writes to the application log.

To configure the Windows Security Log to support auditing of ADFS events

1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.

2. Double-click Local Policies, and then click Audit Policy.

3. In the details pane, double-click Audit object access.

4. On the Audit object access Properties page, select either Success or Failure, or both, and then click OK.

5. Close the Local Security Settings snap-in.

6. At a command prompt, type gpupdate /force and then press ENTER to immediately refresh the local policy.

Configure event logging for a federation server

Use the following procedure to specify the types of events that you want to be logged on a server that is running the Active Directory Federation Service:

• Configure event logging on a federation server

Configure event logging for a federation server proxy

Use the following procedure to specify the types of events that you want to be logged on a server that is running the ADFS Federation Service Proxy:

• Configure event logging on a federation server proxy

Configure event logging on a Web server

Events logged on Web servers that are running an ADFS Web Agent are configured according to the application type that the agent supports. Event logging is configured differently for Windows NT token-based applications and claims-aware applications:

• Windows NT token-based applications: On Web servers that are running the ADFS Web Agent for Windows NT token-based applications, event logging for these applications is set in the registry on the Web server. Use the following procedure to specify the types of events that you want to be logged for Windows NT token-based applications on the Web server:

  Configure event logging for a Windows NT token-based application

• Claims-aware applications: On Web servers that are running the ADFS Web Agent for claims-aware applications, event logging for these applications is set in the Web.config file for the application. Use the following procedure to specify the types of events that you want to be logged for claims-aware applications on the Web server:

  Configure event logging for a claims-aware application

Configuration Tasks for Troubleshooting

Before you use advanced troubleshooting techniques to identify and solve ADFS problems, configure your computer for troubleshooting.

To configure your computer for troubleshooting, perform the following tasks:

• Configure ADFS Event Logging

• Configure ADFS Debug Logging

• Disable JavaScript

• Enable ASP.NET Debug Output

• Configure an ASP.NET Error Page

Configure ADFS Event Logging

You can configure event logging on federation servers, federation server proxies, and Web servers. ADFS events are logged in the Application event log and the Security event log.

Configure ADFS Debug Logging

Event logs are generally descriptive, intended to help you understand what is happening. However, the default events do not always provide the level of detail that is needed for effective troubleshooting. In this case, configure ADFS debug logging.

ADFS provides several levels of debug information that are available for troubleshooting ADFS problems. Use the procedures in this section for enabling debug logging and setting appropriate debug logging levels on federation servers, federation proxy servers, and Web servers that are running ADFS Web Agents.

The debug log file is located in %systemdrive%\ADFS\logs.

Debug log filename format

If debug logging is enabled on a federation server, the log filename in the C:\ADFS\logs directory has the following format:

adfsyyyymmdd-hhmmss.log

In the name of the file, the number following "adfs" represents the date of the log and the number following the dash (-) represents the beginning time of the log.

Debug log tags

Depending on the level of debug logging you enable, you will see the following tags in debug logs:

[INFO] - Displays information about events, such as redirects with protocol Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), token validations, or claim mappings.

[VERBOSE] - Displays information about events, such as sign-in requests, responses, token contents, Web method calls, and security identifier (SID) information.

[ERROR] - Displays events for significant problems in the debug log.

[WARNING] - Displays events, which are not necessarily significant but that may cause future problems.

[EVENTLOG] - Displays all ADFS events.

Although all information in the log file could be useful, you can look at the lines that are tagged [ERROR] and [WARNING] first to quickly assess the problem.

For example, the following section of a debug log file shows that certificate chain validation is failing.

Enable ADFS debug logging on Web servers

To enable debug logging on Web servers, you need to edit the registry on the servers that you are troubleshooting.

You can enable debug logging for the following components:

• The ADFS Web Agent running on ADFS Web servers has two components:

  • ADFS Token Authentication service (ifssvc.exe), which validates incoming tokens and cookies. Debug logging creates ifssvc.log.

  • ADFS Web Agent Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extension (ifsext.dll), which handles the protocols that are used by ADFS to authenticate requests; and the ADFS Web Agent ISAPI filter (ifsfilt.dll), which assists the extension and enables user name logging in the Internet Information Services (IIS) log files. Debug logging creates the ifsext_StsAppPool1.log and ifsfilt_StsAppPool1.log, respectively in the %systemdrive%\ADFS\Logs directory.

• In addition, the ADFS Web Agent authentication package (ifsAp.dll) is used by Windows NT token-based applications for generating tokens when Service-for-User (S4U) is not available. Debug logging creates ifsap.log.
