Answer 1

Hello @Dina Trevino,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

Based on your statement, it seems you are looking for documentation on updating a certificate in Azure for the Workday application.

You can follow this document to update the SAML certificate if your existing certificate is set to expire soon: Renew a certificate that is set to expire soon.

To update the certificate:

1. Sign in to Microsoft Entra ID.
2. Go to Enterprise applications > Select the Workday application.
3. Click on Single sign-on, then Edit under SAML Certificates (Option 3).
4. Click on New Certificate and then Save. You will now see two certificates for your application: one active and one inactive.

Before activating the new certificate, upload it to the Workday admin portal. Once uploaded, you can make the new certificate active and test the authentication.

If you do not need to use the automated certificate generated by Entra ID, you can bring your own certificate and you can upload it in Import Certificate in Entra ID.
