[<CommonParameters>] Description
You can use the Set-FederationTrust cmdlet to manage the certificates used for the federation trust. You can also use the Set-FederationTrust cmdlet 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 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
Set-FederationTrust -Identity "Azure AD Authentication" -Thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17This example configures the federation trust Microsoft Federation Gateway to use the certificate with the thumbprint AC00F35CBA8359953F4126E0984B5CCAFA2F4F17 as the next certificate.
Example 2
Set-FederationTrust -Identity "Azure AD Authentication" -PublishFederationCertificateThis example configures the federation trust Microsoft Federation Gateway to use the next certificate as the current certificate.
Example 3
Set-FederationTrust -Identity "Azure AD Authentication" -MetadataUrl https://nexus.microsoftonline-p.com/federationmetadata/2006-12/federationmetadata.xmlThis example updates the configuration if the tenant is hosted in Microsoft 365 U.S. Government GCC High or DoD environment.
Before you configure a federation trust to use the next certificate as the current certificate, you need to use the Test-FederationTrust cmdlet to verify that the certificate is available on all Exchange servers.
Parameters
-ApplicationUri
The ApplicationUri parameter specifies the primary domain used for the federation organization identifier.
| 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.

The certificate is used to encrypt tokens with the Microsoft Federation Gateway.
Before setting the next certificate to be used as the current certificate, ensure that the certificate is deployed on all Exchange servers. Use the Test-FederationCertificate cmdlet to check the deployment status of the certificate.
