Enabling Integrated Windows Authentication in Firefox

Follow these steps to enable Firefox users to use Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) to authenticate through ADFS.

Note: The Extended Protection authentication setting on Windows is used to configure Kerberos mutual authentication. In this type of authentication, to prevent a "man-in-the-middle" attack, the server authenticates to the client and the client authenticates the server. Windows 7 on Firefox doesn't support Extended Protection. If users use this client configuration disable Extended Protection in ADFS.

Procedure

1. Start Firefox

2. In the address bar, type about:config. At the prompt that warns to proceed with caution, agree to continue.

3. Search for each setting in the following table and provide the value indicated.
