CirrostratusUsing ADFS as an SP and F5 as IdP
We are trying to set up Sharepoint 2013 with our new F5 appliance, and wanting to use federation for authentication. I know that F5 doesn't support WS-Federation, so we need to add ADFS into the mix.
Now what we need to do is set up Sharepoint to use ADFS for authentication, but have ADFS act a proxy/translator and use the F5 as an IdP to do the real authentication. I haven't been able to find any solid information on how to make this happen.
I'm relatively new to federation, so my experience is pretty limited. Has anyone done this and/or could you help guide me in the right direction on how to get it set up (and how to test it)?
Thanks!

Jangins101, message me directly and I'll share a configuration document for "SP-initiated" configuration of APM/ADFS/SharePoint. The details are more lengthy than I think this thread would allow.

What is your user case for federation? You don't necessarily need to do claims to Sharepoint - you can setup APM to do SP-based SAML authentication and then setup Sharepoint 2013 to do Kerberos and setup Kerberos Constrained Delegation between APM and Sharepoint. Here's a link to guide on how to setup Sharepoint 2013 for Kerberos: http://blog.blksthl.com/2012/09/26/the-first-kerberos-guide-for-sharepoint-2013-technicians/

Did you ever get information regarding this request? I am exploring something very similar and would love to hear what you solution was.
