# Connecting WS-Federation Providers with Auth0

To create a connection for a WS-Federation Identity Provider (such as Azure ACS/AD or IdentityServer) use the [ADFS connection](/connections/enterprise/adfs) type when creating your new connection.

To configure this connection, navigate to [Dashboard > Connections > Enterprise](${manage_url}/#/connections/enterprise) and select the __ADFS__.

![Enterprise Connections](/media/articles/connections/enterprise/ws-fed/connections-enterprise.png)

Click __Create New Connection__ and enter the following information:

* __Connection Name__ - A descriptive name for the connection
* __Email Domains__ - (Optional) 

Next, you must either provide the URL for your WS-Federation server in the __ADFS URL__ field or upload a Federation Metadata file.

::: note
If you configure the connection with a WS-Federation server URL, Auth0 will retrieve the Federation Metadata endpoint and import the required parameters, certificates, and URLs.
:::

Click __Save__.

Next you will see a list of your registered [clients](${manage_url}/#/clients) with the option to enable the new connection for any of them.

That's it! You are now ready to test and start using your connection.
