Configuring AD FS to work with Enterprise Vault.cloud
This section describes how to configure your Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) environment to work with the Enterprise Vault.cloud authentication service. After you configure your AD FS environment and the Enterprise Vault.cloud authentication service, you can provide single sign-on access to Enterprise Vault Personal.cloud users.
For information about the supported AD FS versions, see the Enterprise Vault.cloud Compatibility List.
Note:
These instructions apply to the provision of single sign-on access for Personal.cloud users only. For assistance with the provision for Discovery.cloud and Archive Administration, contact Veritas Services & Support.

These instructions do not provide information on how to set up your AD FS environment. Refer to the following Microsoft documentation for information on to set up your AD FS environment:
Enterprise Vault.cloud honors the NotBefore and NotOnOrAfter conditions that are presented during Secure Assertion authentication and authorization exchanges.
We recommend that you review your SSO Authority/Identity Provider settings to understand the values that are presented to Enterprise Vault.cloud during the SAML exchange. You need to ensure that the NotBefore and NotOnOrAfter values and drift values are configured in a way that is secure but that does not inadvertently cause authentication issues. Enterprise Vault.cloud synchronizes with several external UTC time sources and we recommend that you do the same to minimize the drift between our networks. Refer to your Microsoft documentation for information about configuring these values in an AD FS environment.
For information on how to set a NotBeforeSkew condition to allow for time discrepancies, see the following article on our Support website:
