This article describes an issue that occurs after you add or remove claims providers on a Windows Server 2012 R2-based Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) server. A hotfix is available to resolve this issue. Before you install this update, check out the Prerequisites section.

Symptoms

Assume that you have an AD FS farm that uses Windows Internal Database (WID) and a relying party trust (RP) to which you have assigned one or more claims providers by using the Set-AdfsRelyingPartyTrust cmdlet together with the ClaimsProviderName parameter. When you add or remove claims providers on the primary AD FS server and the second AD FS server synchronizes with the primary AD FS server, the claims provider property on the RP is deleted.  

Cause

This issue occurs because, during the synchronization, all existing objects on the secondary server are deleted, and the current objects from the primary server are added. When the claims provider is deleted, the object that represents the RP's claims provider property is also deleted because of cascading delete.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, we have released a hotfix for Windows Server 2012 R2.

Windows Server 2012 R2 file information and notes

Important Windows 8.1 hotfixes and Windows Server 2012 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.3.960 0.17 xxx

    Windows Server 2012 R2

    RTM

    GDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information" section. MUM, MANIFEST, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are very important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
