Use the Set-FederationTrust cmdlet to modify an existing federation trust.

Syntax

Set-FederationTrust -Identity <FederationTrustIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-MetadataUrl <Uri>] [-Name <String>] [-RefreshMetadata <SwitchParameter>] [-Thumbprint <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Set-FederationTrust -Identity <FederationTrustIdParameter> -ApplicationUri <String> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Name <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Set-FederationTrust -Identity <FederationTrustIdParameter> -PublishFederationCertificate <SwitchParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Name <String>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

You can use the Set-FederationTrust cmdlet to manage the certificates used for the federation trust. The Set-FederationTrust cmdlet can also be used to refresh the metadata document from the Microsoft Federation Gateway and download its certificate.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Federation trusts" entry in the Exchange and Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.FederationTrustIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the name of the federation trust being modified.

ApplicationUri

Required

System.String

The ApplicationUri parameter specifies the primary domain used for the federation organization identifier.

PublishFederationCertificate

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The PublishFederationCertificate switch specifies the next certificate as the current certificate for the federation trust and publishes it to the Microsoft Federation Gateway. The certificate is used to encrypt tokens with the Microsoft Federation Gateway.

Caution:
Before setting the next certificate to be used as the current certificate, ensure that the certificate is deployed on all Hub Transport servers and Client Access servers. Use the Test-FederationCertificate cmdlet or the Managed Federation wizard to check the deployment status of the certificate.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

MetadataUrl

Optional

System.Uri

The MetadataUrl parameter specifies the URL where WS-FederationMetadata is published by the Microsoft Federation Gateway.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter specifies a name for the federation trust.

RefreshMetadata

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The RefreshMetadata switch specifies that the metadata document and certificate is retrieved again from the Microsoft Federation Gateway.

Thumbprint

Optional

System.String

The Thumbprint parameter specifies the thumbprint of the X.509 certificate to be configured as the next certificate for the federation trust. After the certificate is deployed on all Hub Transport servers and Client Access servers in the Exchange organization, you can use the PublishFederationCertificate switch to configure the trust to use this certificate.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example configures the federation trust Microsoft Federation Gateway to use the certificate with the thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17 as the next certificate.

Copy Code 
Set-FederationTrust -Identity "Microsoft Federation Gateway" -Thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17

EXAMPLE 2

This example configures the federation trust Microsoft Federation Gateway to use the next certificate as the current certificate.

Important:
Before you configure a federation trust to use the next certificate as the current certificate, you must use the Test-FederationTrust cmdlet or the Manage Federation wizard to verify that the certificate is available on all Hub Transport servers and Client Access servers.
Copy Code 
Set-FederationTrust -Identity "Microsoft Federation Gateway" -PublishFederationCertificate
