Identityserver4: Why to use identity server while we have adfs ?

[nourBerro]

In my organisation im trying to apply sso and we have adfs server.
So should i use adfs or implement identityserver ? Why?

[leastprivilege]

If ADFS has all the features you need - then you don't need IdentityServer.

[nourBerro]

I hope some one who knows more about adfs and identity server to answer the question

[kenneth-y]

you should at least have a list of high-level requirements that your organization need for your SSO implementation. then you try to find out the features that are available from adfs and IdentityServer then assess which implementation suits your organization.

ADFS is not an identity provider, it is an identity translator.

If you have AD as your identity provider, ADFS is a good translator.

@tomCJones so the main advantage of identity server over adfs is idsrv able to authenticate from many providers like google aspnetIdentity. But adfs os only authenticate using AD
Is there any other differences?

[TomCJones]

actually, that is not what I was trying to say.

ADFS allows authentication from a wide variety of RPs, far wider than Identity Server which is limited to OIDC.

ADFS does not act as an identity provider, which Identity Server can do.

ADFS typically uses AD as an identity provider.
