This solution deploys Web Application Proxy (WAP) and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. It's for organizations that want to to provide seamless external access to their web applications running on AWS.
AD FS is a Windows Server role that authenticates users and provides security tokens to applications or federated partner applications that trust AD FS. The Web Application Proxy role on Windows Server uses proxy requests to make AD FS accessible to external users, removing the need for virtual private network (VPN) connectivity. By selectively publishing and preauthenticating connections, you can manage access by users outside your corporate network to internal web applications.
