Sign out scenario:
20 minutes before Token expiration below dialog is shown with options to Sign In or Cancel. Clicking Sign In doesn't redirect to ADFS Sign In page prompting for username and password. Instead, it presents a Signed Out ADFS page. Referece - Claims-based authentication and security token expiration.

Cause

The issue is caused by a duplicate MSISAuth cookie issued by Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a domain cookie with an AD FS namespace. This cookie name is not unique and when another application, such as SharePoint is accessed, it is presented with duplicate cookie. This causes authentication to fail.

The Signed Out scenario is caused by Sign Out cookie issued by Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a domain cookie, see below example. This cookie is domain cookie and when presented to ADFS, it's considered for the entire domain, like *.contoso.com/. This causes re-authentication flow to fail and ADFS presents Sign Out page.

Set-Cookie: MSISSignOut=; domain=contoso.com; path=/; secure; HttpOnly

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you will need to configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM with a subdomain value such as crm.domain.com. This will require a different wild card certificate such as *.crm.domain.com.

After performing these changes, you will need to re-configure Claims Based Authentication and IFD using the correct endpoints like shown below:

  1. auth.<subdomain>.domain.com
  2. dev.<subdomain>.domain.com
  3. org.<subdomain>.domain.com
