How do I run AD FS on a Mac?
AD FS (Active Directory Federation Services) is Microsoft's on-premises federation/SSO server, issuing SAML/WS-Fed/OAuth tokens backed by Active Directory. There's no cloud metrics API, but its FederationMetadata endpoint is a reliable health signal — enter your AD FS host and the pane checks that metadata is being served, alerting if the federation service stops responding (sign-in for relying-party apps would break).
With FrontierStack you can install or connectAD FS from its Identity & Accounts catalog, then monitor its health, ports and certificate alongside the rest of your stack.
Run it all from one Mac app.
FrontierStack installs, monitors and secures the whole stack — locally and across your fleet — from a single native macOS app.
