I have an ADFS single sign on application. Can we also have form authentication using login credential from a database on the same application? In other words, I need single-sign-on for people who have windows account and form authentication for people who do not have windows account. I did some research on this topic but I have no lead. Is there any suggestion?
Out of the box ADFS can only authenticate against Active Directory (The latest version of ADFS (vNext) do supports LDAP v3-compliant directories).
You need to build your own Custom Authentication Provider for ADFS if you would like to plugin your custom code.

I do not see [Application Groups] folder in my ADFS. How can I install it to see it in my AD FS Management?
I want my WEB API(REST) project to connect to ADFS for authentication. Additionally, I want to test my REST API Authentication without a login screen, please help in this as well. My API will be consumed by CRM users, who are already connected to ADFS. Now the requirement is to create an REST API which will be hit by CRM users and CRM user will pass a userid and password which will be authenticated by ADFS internally without login screen. How can I do that?
Any help please.
Thanks
Application Groups are only available in Server 2016 and 2019. They are available in the ADFS wizard by default.
In terms of sample code for calling API, have a look here.
I have created a new ASP.NET web site using VS 2017 and changed the Authentication mechanism to use "Individual User Accounts". This adds the Claims Principal or WIF class support.I can click on register / log in, and set up user emails and then check for the claims for that user. I will also be using Server Session Authentication Management (SAM) to save claims on the server and do some claims transformation as well.
After Login, this site calls a winform application, and after some activity I return back to the above website.
I want to know how can I use SSO logic here and check if I am already Authenticated and access my claims saved at the server side / website and authenticate the user based on the saved claims.
Is there some project or code example anyone can give which i can use as a start to develop such a STS service (in VS 2017) with SSO and access my claims on website after coming from another domain?
The identity and access tools used to work only with VS 2012, so any way to replicate the above scenario and check for my saved claims after I hit my website from the winform application.
There's a good example here of using WS-Fed with Azure AD.
This is easily adaptable to ADFS.
Your other choice is to use ADAL.
I am using ADFS 3.0 for SSO on SharePoint 2013, I have followed the instructions at http://info.summit7systems.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-claims-based-authentication-ad-fs-3-0-and-sharepoint-2013-part-ii-installing-and-configuring-ad-fs-3-0
but every time I login using the ADFS login page I receive the below error
No strong authentication method found for the request from urn:sharepoint:ontrack.
at Microsoft.IdentityServer.Web.Authentication.AuthenticationPolicyEvaluator.
this is the configuration of authnetication policies
Enabling ADFS tracing will likely give you further insight. I received this error and it related to not having a custom multifactor authentication provider installed on a particular ADFS node.
Is your SharePoint RPT setup for multifactor authentication? If so, you may ensure that the appropriate MFA provider displays and is enabled on the Multi-factor tab.
We have identity server V3 used inside my web application. We would like to use same identities to communicate with sharepoint 2016. Any repository or doc available on how to implement single sign on for sharepoint 2016 and Identity server V3 ?
You'd have to research how to get sharepoint to use IdentityServer as its identity provider.
I prototyped SSO in a test SharePoint 2010 environment a few years and used the links below for assistance. Some of the information may be outdated but I think the relationship between the STS (which in this case would be Identity Server V3 - Thinktecture) and SharePoint has not changed.
I am currently setting up SSO with our SharePoint application as well as other applications. I am using Azure Access Control Service (ACS) to act as a repository for all of the Identity Providers we would like to use. The providers are Facebook,Google,Windows Live ID and LinkedIn. ACS allows you to add custom Identity Providers as well. We have a CRM application that we currently authenticate against within our SharePoint application using claims and forms based authentication. This will be a custom identity provider defined in ACS. I am beginning to work with Thinktecture to be the identity provider that will sit on top of our CRM application. Users will then be able to login to SharePoint with any of the identity providers specified in ACS. We will see how it goes but I believe this will work. I would start with the General HowTos to using STS in SharePoint link.

General HowTos to using STS in SharePoint
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff955607.aspx
We have a web application (asp.net mvc 3) that should support SSO for internal uses via AD. We also have a large community of external users that we want to have SSO for all of our web applications. for example: external_user1 accesses webappA, webappB and webappC all with the same login. Also, domain\user1 has access to all three webapps. we plan to use WIF and ADFS 2.0.
We don't want to have AD accounts for all of the external users so, in the past we might have tried a solution with ADFS 1.x and ADAM. however, we're on Windows Server 2008 R2 and ADFS 2.0 cannot use AD LDS (successor to ADAM) to authenticate users.
What is the SSO approach (using microsoft products)?
The key question is whether you can leverage external_user1 account store or not. If you can, then you would just need to add another trust relationship between your ADFS and their STS and you are done! That approach would be ideal, because then you would not need to maintain external_user1 anymore. Essentially this:
If you can't leverage ther user accounts, then you can still use ADFS v1.1 and have a trust with yourself:
Could you not create a custom STS that does allow authentication against ADAM and that has a trust relationship with ADFS v2.0?
In addition to Eugenios answer, you should investigate Microsoft Azure ACS. This will give yo you federation of Gooogle, Facebook, Yahoo and other OpenId providers.
Your authentication chain will look like this:
Your App -> ADFS -> Active Directory
or
Your App -> ADFS -> ACS -> Google.
Search for the ADFS tag in this site, and you will find many relevant posts.
Though this question was for ADFS 2.0, in which support for LDS as an identity provider was dropped, it looks like this will be re-introduced in ADFS 4.0
