The following ladder diagrams illustrate the sequence of authentication events and which component performs which function.
The first illustration shows the existing PTT Pro OAuth sequence to an AD/ADFS infrastructure. This is provided for the administrator to understand operations before introducing ACS.
After the administrator understands the AD/ADFS (Active Directory / Active Directory Federated Services) operations, the next diagram introduces ACS and how the flow of authorization is transferred or converted from OAuth to SAML. Both PTT Pro and Profile Manager servers are shown.

Once an understanding of the AD/ADFS (Active Directory / Active Directory Federated Services) is developed, the following diagram shows the introduction of ACS and in a standalone PTT Pro configuration.

The following ladder diagram describes the flow of authorization in a deployment with Profile Manager servers.
