Active Directory Federation Services Auditing page

The Active Directory Federation Services Auditing page is displayed when Active Directory Federation Services is selected from the Auditing task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks page. From this page you can start the Active Directory Federation Services Auditing wizard to monitor sign-in activity and configuration changes. You can also edit existing templates, disable/enable templates and remove templates that are no longer being used.

The auditing page contains an expandable view of all the templates that have been previously defined. To add a new template to the list, use the Add tool bar button.

* 
NOTE: Authorization to use the administration tasks on the Administrations Tasks tab is defined using the Application User Interface page under the Configuration task list. If you are denied access to the tasks on this page, see the Change Auditor User Guide for more information about how to gain access.

Once added, the following information is provided for the template:

Template
