Update-MSOLFederatedDomain doesn't work

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a federated domain with a third party IDP. I synchronised the local AD with Azure AD, but I'm getting an 80041317 error on login. While following the instructions on how to fix that on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2647020 , I have to run Update-MSOLFederatedDomain, which fails. This is how I run the command:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Update-MSOLFederatedDomain -Domain ggdevelop.com

Update-MSOLFederatedDomain : 'ggdevelop.com' is not a valid domain name.

At line:1 char:1

• Update-MSOLFederatedDomain -Domain ggdevelop.com
• CategoryInfo       : NotSpecified: (:) [Update-MsolFederatedDomain], FederationException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId: InvalidDomainName,Microsoft.Online.Identity.Federation.Powershell.UpdateFederatedDomainCommand

****The domain is definitely a valid domain name, since I can see it by running Get-MSOLDomain:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-MSOLDomain

Name                                                                                 Status       Authentication

----                                                                                 ------       --------------

ggdevelop.com                                                                        Verified     Federated

I can provide additional information if required. I would appreciate any suggestion on how to fix this, since I'm not sure where to go from here.

Hi bogdan.albei.gmail.com,

With a "third party IDP", I suppose you're using a third party SSO solution rather than the Microsoft official ADFS/SSO deployment. If that's true, I'm afraid we cannot provide corresponding technical support in our forum, which is dedicated to Office 365 online service.

However, if I misunderstood and you are actually using ADFS/SSO deployment, please post back. Further assistance will be provided here. We highly appreciate your understanding.

Thanks,

Brook
