The Synchronization Agent connects to your Active Directory to synchronize user and group data with TMWS.
The data transmits over the HTTPS protocol on port 443 and this port is usually open on Firewall A by default, as depicted in the graphic above.
For details, see Synchronization Agent Configuration.
Putting the AD FS server in the DMZ allows user authentication regardless if they are inside the corporate network (User A) or outside of it (User B). But if you deploy the AD FS server in the Intranet, only User A, who is inside the corporate network, can authenticate and log on to TMWS.
