What does federating a server mean?
A federated system is a special type of distributed database management system (DBMS) that consists of a database instance that operates as a federated server, a database that acts as the federated database, one or more data sources, and clients (users and applications) that access the database and data sources.

What is Federated Identity Management? While SSO allows a single authentication credential to access different systems within a single organization, a federated identity management system provides single access to multiple systems across different enterprises.
Can You federate an ArcGIS Server site with your portal?
All ArcGIS GeoEvent Server sites, GeoAnalytics Server sites, and ArcGIS Image Server raster analytics sites must also match the portal’s version. However, some ArcGIS Server sites at version 10.5 or later can be federated with a portal of a more recent version.
Where can I Find my ArcGIS Server services?
You can register ArcGIS Server services as items in the portal, allowing portal users to easily find them and add them to web maps. The services can come from any ArcGIS Server site you can access through the service URL. Registering services is the most loosely coupled way in which a server can be integrated with a portal.
How is access to an ArcGIS Server controlled?
Access to ArcGIS Server services is controlled by the portal’s sharing model—Every ArcGIS Server service you publish to your federated server is automatically shared as an item in the portal. The sharing model of the portal allows you to keep the service private to its publisher, or shared with one or more groups of portal users.
Can a server be federated with a portal?
No ArcGIS Server site can be federated with a portal from an earlier version than its own. When you federate a server with your portal, the portal’s security store controls all access to the server. This provides a convenient sign-in experience but also impacts how you access and administer the federated server.
