asked on

active directory federation server, auth failures

below settings on our ADFS version 3.0

This is 2 consecutive bad passwords then Office 365 will soft lock the account and not send authentication requests to our internal AD.

Set-AdfsProperties -EnableExtranetLockout $true -ExtranetLockoutThreshold 2 -ExtranetObservationWindow (new-timespan -Minutes 60)

It is  strongly recommend that ExtranetLockoutThreshold parameter value to a value that is less than the AD account lockout threshold. Failing to do so would result in AD FS being unable to protect accounts from being locked out in Active Directory. which is set up in our environment

we don't have adfs proxy set up

but we are seeing lot of ADFS auth failures for 2 user accounts

does above settings only work if  auth failures come from o365

It should work for all requests coming to your ADFS server (All relying parties). You set this globally. One thing though, Microsoft says it only works when the request comes through a Web Application Proxy (ADFS Proxy). Since we have a proxy I cannot say if this is true or not.
  When you say the failures come, is it soft locking the users? Locking their accounts?

My question was if settings in ADFS is set to soft lock after 2 attempts how user account is getting locked out 5 times in AD
As I said, this (Accroding to Microsoft) normally only works when you have an ADFS Proxy. Extranet means it was received via a Proxy. So, it may not even been taking effect. If you have ADFS working in production, you really should have a proxy server unless all users, all the time, are internal. In which case, the Extranet settings would never take effect
