The Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) connector allows SigningHub to remotely connect with ADFS to authenticate users both at the time of login and at the time of signing. By using this connector, the SigningHub users can authenticate themselves by using their (same) ADFS account credentials. For this, SigningHub needs to be registered with your ADFS host server.
