If you are only integrating SAML Service Providers / Relying Parties with GridGuard, Active Directory Federations Services are not explicitly required. The SAML enabled Service Provider / Relying Party can be directly integrated with GridGuard. If integrating ADFS and GridGuard is required, the software requirements are relaxed.

• Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services 2.0 or greater server / farm
• GridGuard-VA Virtual Appliance 5.4 or greater

An Office 365 instance is required for this integration. The Office 365 instance needs to be configured with single sign on with ADFS. The Office 365 instance is expected to be already configured for SSO authentication to successfully complete this integration.. Consult Microsoft Office 365 documentation for setup instructions.
