Hello We're looking to try and provide suitable health monitoring for some ADFS and ADFS Proxy services being provided by our Brocade virtual Traffic Manager (running v11.0). I've seen a previous post (from 2015) that failed to suggest a solution. However in "Windows Server 2012 R2 Update rollup (KB.2975719)", Microsoft in their wisdom, provide a way of monitoring ADFS using HTTP. See the following URL for details: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/applicationproxyblog/2014/10/17/hardware-load-balancer-health-checks-and-web-application-proxy-ad-fs-2012-r2/ However as ADFS uses SSL pass-through (at least in our case) on port 443, we seem unable to using the HTTP method to monitor this HTTPS service. The stock HTTP monitor sends the requests to port 443. My question is therefore, is it possible, using the stock health monitors, to monitor a 443 (HTTPS) service on port 80 (HTTP). Or must we write an external monitor, using Perl or similar? The new ADFS HTTP monitor URL's are: http://<Web Application Proxy name>/adfs/probe http://<ADFS server name>/adfs/probe http://<Web Application Proxy IP address>/adfs/probe http://<ADFS IP address>/adfs/probe many thanks in advance Martyn Griffiths University of South Wales UK
