Missing WS-Federation Passive Endpoint

Microsoft.ActiveDirectoryFederationServices20.TokenIssuanceEmptyOrMissingWSFederationPassiveEndpointRule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Fedpassive endpoint for the relying party is empty. Token issuance for this trust failed.

Causes

The following are possible causes for this event:

An incorrect protocol method was used to verify the Federation Service. For example, a request was made that uses WS-Federation to verify Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) support.
The relying party is missing a WS-Federation Passive endpoint address.

Resolutions

The following are possible resolutions for this event:

Verify that you are using the correct protocol to test your federation partnership. For example, a frequent method of testing the operational status of the Federation Service is to use a browser-based request to a service endpoint. This method of access uses WS-Federation, but it cannot be used to verify SAML support. You can verify SAML support only by using a client that can send and receive SAML protocol messages.
Use the AD FS snap-in to configure a WS-Federation Passive endpoint on this relying party.
