Our ASP.NET Core applications typically use WS-Federation with ADFS as our Identity Provider. After configuring a new application(Relying Party) in ADFS the first authentication attempt failed with the following error message:
Encountered error during federation passive request.
A look at the event viewer gave us more details:
Protocol Name:
wsfed
Relying Party:
