Dear All,
i am trying to setup ADFS authentication with Discourse but dont see basic steps to configure. If you dont mind, can i request your for your help and share basic config at both side ( Adfs and Discourse)
I mean attribute and other basic setting at ADFs side and Discourse side.
Not sure if you can share screenshot Of configurations from both side.
I am sorry, for all these request as being very new on this forum.
Hope we can sync AD group as well ?
Thanks
