Symptoms

Assume that many users log on a web application by using an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) federation server that is running Windows Server 2012. In this situation, the memory usage of the AD FS federation server keeps increasing, and you cannot log on to the federation server.

Cause

This issue occurs because AD FS federation server uses the WindowsUserNameSecurityTokenHandler class that creates token handles. However, the class does not free the handles correctly when many users log on to the web application.
