Since we don’t have existing ADFS Farm, Select Create the first federation server in a federation server farm and Click on Next
Select the ADFS Service account that has active directory permissions to begin the Active Directory Services configuration in the AD Forest.
You should have a valid Certificate for the Federation Services. it can be third-party certificate or an Internal CA Certificate.
After certificate validation is Completed and names are matching with the Federation Service names, Provide the Display Name and Click on Next

You can set up the managed service account for Federation Service or you can set up a domain administrator account also to manage the AD FS. Here I am using domain administrators to manage,
You can use the SQL Database which is installed on a Separate server or you can use the default SQL Express which will be installed on the AD FS Server, I am proceeding with the default one and Click Next,
Click on Next
Click on Configure
You need to add the Host(A) record to point it to ADFS Server and open Internet Explorer and browse the AD FS URL.
Here is my AD FS Server URL:https://STS.windowstechpro.com/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignon.aspx to access the AD FS SSO,
Click on Sign in and enter the Domain user account and password to validate the federation Services.
You’re able to Sign in to Federation Services which in turn is verification to confirm that ADFS Installation is completely successful.
