Does one authentication type create more traffic than another?
Description
Does one authentication type create more traffic between the STS and Proxy than another? For example, do applications with basic create more traffic on the proxy then applications with integrated windows authentication or form fill?
Resolution
Basic, Windows Auth and Formfill all require that the entire back-end application is proxied, which generates the majority of web traffic, as effectively CAM is serving up the web application to the user, which results in traffic from the application to CAM and then on to the end user.
SAML, WS-fed and Oauth/openID use federation which does not require the application to be proxied, and so traffic with CAM is minimized to only authentications which use a much lower level of traffic.
