SharePoint now has the current user’s claims in memory (in the SPUser object) and SharePoint knows that it can trust them.

SharePoint will pass the user’s credentials to the trusted identity provider and request authentication and a token. The secure token server is Active Directory Federation Services and our data source is Active Directory.
