When I implemented a claims based forms authentication provider, I had to manually update the following 3 config files:
- web.config for the Sharepoint website
- web.config for Central Admin
- web.config for the Secure Token Service
For example, in web.config for Central Admin I added:
<providers>
<add name="admember" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="LDAPConnection"
enableSearchMethods="true" attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountname" />
</providers>
Now, I've implemented a trusted identity provider (where ADFS is the trusted identity provider) and ran the powershell commands to create the trust in Sharepoint as specified here:

My question is: do I still need to go and manually update the web.config files listed above just like I did for the forms authentication provider? If so, what entries do I need to add?
thanks,
