Title: Microsoft ADFS 3 /adfs/portal/updatepassword page
Post by: Dieselboy on May 22, 2019, 11:53:18 PM
ADFS 3.0 provides a web page portal for changing your user account AD password. It is disabled by default. The URL is https://sso.company.com/adfs/portal/updatepassword
(obviously replace the host with the correct url.

I set this up many years ago. I'm moving this SSO config to another server instance. I was unable to get this web portal page to work. Event viewer had the error:

Exception details:
Microsoft.IdentityServer.RequestFailedException: MSIS7065: There are no registered protocol handlers on path /adfs/ls/updatepassword/ to process the incoming request.
   at Microsoft.IdentityServer.Web.PassiveProtocolListener.OnGetContext(WrappedHttpListenerContext context)


The endpoint was indeed enabled, so I couldnt understand this. I disabled the endpoint and re-enabled it, rebooted the server etc - no dice.

Eventually I found someones google doc via a google search (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IPvxCd0R2lobWh3_pJR5lUGNTJYRQGOur7udLLLuVH0/edit) and it explained that a hotfix was needed to enable this feature to work without the ADFS trying to authenticate the device as a registered device.

So once I installed the hotfix from here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=3035025 and then rebooted, all is working again.

:coolstory:

Seriously, stuff like this is good to file away in the back of our brains, in case we see something similar in the future. I'm always working with Windows, and it's good to remember to check to see if a hotfix is needed to, well... hotfix something.

I searched high and low for this one. The fact I had it working on another VM said to me I'd worked through this hurdle before (and obviously not made any notes).

Hey, it wouldn't be the first time this forum was used as a personal knowledge base reference...  :whistle:
