• AD FS IdP metadata is downloaded from https://<ADFS_FQDN>/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml. in context
• Of the three IdPs covered here, only AD FS has no Cisco statement restricting Unified CM to cluster-wide agreements, so AD FS is the IdP on which per node mode remains an option. inferred in context
• Cisco's AD FS 3.0 example imports Unified CM SP metadata, also served at https://<CUCM_FQDN>:8443/ssosp/ws/config/metadata/sp, with the Add Relying Party Trust wizard. in context
• In AD FS the first claim rule uses the Send LDAP Attributes as Claims template, mapping the LDAP attribute used for Unified CM directory sync (for example SAM-Account-Name) to an outgoing claim type typed manually as lowercase uid. in context
• A successful SSO test in the Unified CM wizard reports 'SSO Test Succeeded!'. in context
