Description

Federation trusts are trusts created between an Exchange organization and the Microsoft Federation Gateway. A federation trust is required to configure a federated organization identifier for federated sharing.

For more information, see Federation.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

New-FederationTrust -Name "Microsoft Federation Gateway" -Thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17

This example creates the federation trust Microsoft Federation Gateway with a certificate with the thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17.

Parameters

-AdministratorProvisioningId

The AdministratorProvisioningId parameter specifies the provisioning key returned by the Microsoft Federation Gateway when an organization has already registered a SiteID or ApplicationID.

If you specify the AdministratorProvisioningId parameter, you must use the SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch and also specify the ApplicationIdentifier and ApplicationUri parameters.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-ApplicationIdentifier

The ApplicationIdentifier parameter specifies the SiteID or ApplicationID when an organization has already registered a SiteID or ApplicationID.

If you specify the ApplicationIdentifier parameter, you must use the SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch and also specify the AdministratorProvisioningId and ApplicationUri parameters.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-ApplicationUri

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

If you specify the ApplicationUri parameter, you must use the SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch and also specify the AdministratorProvisioningId and ApplicationIdentifier parameters.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

Type:Fqdn
Position:Named
Default value:None

Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-MetadataUrl

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

Type:Uri
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning

The SkipNamespaceProviderProvisioning switch specifies that the trust and federated organization identifier are provisioned externally without using federation functionality in Microsoft Exchange. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

If you use this switch, you must specify the ApplicationIdentifier, ApplicationUri and AdministratorProvisioningId parameters.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-SuppressDnsWarning

This parameter is available only in Exchange Server 2010.

The SuppressDNSWarning switch specifies whether to display the DNS warning message for creating TXT records in your public DNS when running the New-FederationTrust cmdlet. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

This switch is used automatically by the Hybrid Configuration wizard. We don't recommend manually using this switch.

Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-UseLegacyProvisioningService

The UseLegacyProvisioningService switch specifies that the legacy interface on the Microsoft Federation Gateway is used for managing the federation trust, including federated domains, certificates, and federation metadata. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

When using a self-signed certificate for configuring a federation trust with the Microsoft Federation Gateway, the trust needs to be created using this switch. After the federation trust is created, this behavior can't be changed and requires the deletion and re-creation of the federation trust.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019
