SSO error occurs upon your first visit to websites through ADFS 3.0 that is enabled in Windows Server 2012 R2

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you use ADFS 3.0 for authentication from Active Directory that is installed on a Windows Server 2012 R2-basd computer. When you go to a Single Sign-On (SSO)-enabled website that uses Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 authentication, this issue occurs and you cannot access the website.

Note This issue does not occur if you use ADFS 2.0 for authentication.

Cause

This issue occurs because there is no appropriate authentication method presented to ADFS 3.0. Specifically, ADFS 3.0 returns an inappropriate response without a NoPassive sub-status code to SAML 2.0 request that contains the IsPassive=True attribute.
