CRM 2011 IFD Time-Out

Ok, installation and IFD configuration is complete, users are going in, but they start to complain about a time-out message popping-up about 40 minutes apart or so, and getting redirected to AD FS for re-login.

Not to worry, this is actually by default, and it’s not a CRM fault. In fact this is the result of AD FS 2.0 default configuration. All you have to do is increase the time-out on the AF FS 2.0 side.

Change the time-out setting on the AD FS 2.0 box using the following PowerShell command:

Set-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust –TargetName [NAME] –TokenLifeTime [no_seconds]

Enjoy!
