Extending the IFD timeout

After deploying IFD, we noted that the default ADFS timeout setting was too short and kept on timing out users.

The IFD Configuration guide has a section describing how to modify the timeout setting. The following is a simple walkthrough:

• Open up a windows powershell session

• In ther powershell session type in: 
• Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Adfs.PowerShell
• Get-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust -Name:"Relying_Party"
• Set-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust -TargetName:"Relying_Party" -TokenLifetime 480

Note that the Relying_Party value should be the Relying Party you see in ADFS. So in this example it would be "CRM External".

The token lifetime is in minutes, so 480 equals 8 hours.
