OWA ADFS connection

Hello, I have a problem related to OWA. I receive a SAML request from the keycloak, which is my IDP for ADFS. ADFS later sends a WS-Federation request to OWA. The page is redirected to the endpoint /owa/auth/errorfe.aspx?msg=WrongAudienceUriOrBadSigningCert. In the logs it shows me the following information: ID1044: An encrypted security token was received at the relying party which could not be decrypted. Configure the relying party with a suitable decryption certificate. Current relying party decryption certificate info: No Certificate Configured.

In the ADFS settings, in the certificates tab, I have certificates attached as Token-Decrypting and as Token-Signing. When receiving messages from Adfs, OWA displays in the logs the certificate with which this request was signed, cn=test.

In relying party trusts, as OWA I have encryption and signature certificate cn=test.

After using the command Get-ADFSCertificate all fields show the certificate cn=test.

Where could there be an error that OWA cannot load the certificate to decrypt the adfs message? Any commands that will help display the OWA certificate configuration?

    It seems like there might be a mismatch or misconfiguration in the certificate settings between ADFS and OWA. Here's a suggested solution:

    • Verify that the certificate configured in ADFS for Token-Decrypting and Token-Signing is the same as the one configured in OWA for encryption and signature. Also Ensure that the certificate being used for decryption in OWA is valid and trusted.
    • In ADFS, ensure that the relying party trust for OWA is correctly configured with the appropriate encryption and signing certificates.
    • Double-check the settings to confirm that the correct certificate is selected for decryption in the relying party trust configuration.
    • Validate the certificates being used by both ADFS and OWA to ensure they are not expired, revoked, or otherwise invalid.
    • Ensure that the certificate chain is complete and all intermediate certificates are properly installed
    • Confirm that the thumbprint of the certificate configured in OWA matches the thumbprint of the certificate used by ADFS for token decryption.
    • Continue reviewing logs and error messages in both ADFS and OWA for any additional clues or errors that might help diagnose the issue further.
    • Enable verbose logging if necessary to capture more detailed information about the SAML requests and responses.
