We have a sharepoint site for customers oursystem.ourcompany.com (made up name) that we want to have indexed in search engines, but it is behind ADFS auth. So the only page that google indexes is the loginpage for the system. Our AD guys says that they can’t add any metadata to the adfs login page so we’re stuck…

Now, system.ourcompany.com is indexed and visible as the top result for “oursystem”, besides having no metadata. “No information is available for this page.” is what google is printing out = no metadata.

The problem is that we have another internal admin site behind adfs, and that has the following text indexed:

“Sign in. User Account. Forgot your password? Keep me signed in. Next. Authentication options. icon. Password. icon. Sign in with two-step verification. Password.” I have no idea why this difference is…it is internally hosted on a on-prem server and not a sharepoint site.

So, when users search for “oursystem login” our internal site comes up as the no. 2 search result and certain users accidentally clicks that link instead. Recently, another of our systems begind adfs auth appeared as the no 1 search result because it had better medatadata for google (same as above, i removed it in google webmaster tools but that’s temporary) = serious problem

Perhaps the easiest solution is that our admins for system.ourcompany.com creates a public landing page that in turn links to system.ourcompany.com?

Or is there some other way you can add metadata to *.sharepoint.com sites behind adfs auth?

We have control over oursystem.ourcompany.com, it is a apache server redirecting to the sharepoint.com site. **Can we do something on that apache server to deliver metadata? **

removed our other systems from google as a temporary fix using google webmaster tools, but that only works for 6 months.
