ADFS Error when enabling Client Based Authentication in Dynamics CRM

Hi

I am in the process of enabling Client Based Authentication in Dynamics CRM and have followed the installation guides for installing Dynamics CRM and ADFS on seperate servers on the same domain. Dynamics CRM is installed on SBS 2008 and the ADFS is installed on MS Server 2008. I have checked the certificates by viewing the federation metadata urls and there are no errors. I have registered the SPNs for the adfs and crm servers. I have added the url to the intranet zone in Internet Explorer.

I have internal access to the CRM using the Outlook client however when I use the url in Internet Explorer I get the following error:

    There was a problem accessing the site. Try to browse to the site again.
    If the problem persists, contact the administrator of this site and provide the reference number to identify the problem.
    Reference number: 426f433b-93c2-4703-9c68-f8b08f73f61d

Everytime I refresh the view I get a different reference number for the error. I have checked the event viewer on the ADFS server for errors relating to the ADFS and there are none listed in the logs with the same configuration ids. Infact I do not have any errors showing for the ADFS at all only information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Which URL are you browsing to in IE when you get the error? Is it the internal URL for CRM?

Hi Feridun

Yes the url has changed to ADFS.
I have done an iisreset on both servers and ensured that the port that CRM is installed is open to traffic.
Still get the error.

Glad you got there.
Using a combination of the suggestions provided by feridun and further research around the authentication for CRM on IIS and AFDS I was able to solve the issue.
