Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
displayName | String | The display name of the SAML/WS-Fed based identity provider. Inherited from identityProviderBase. |
issuerUri | String | Issuer URI of the federation server. Inherited from samlOrWsFedProvider. |

Microsoft Entra ID updates certificates via an autorollover process in which it attempts to retrieve a new certificate from the federation service metadata, 30 days before expiry of the current certificate. If a new certificate isn't available, Microsoft Entra ID monitors the metadata daily and will update the federation settings for the domain when a new certificate is available. |
