HTTP request

PATCH directory/federationConfigurations/graph.samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation/{samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation ID}

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, provide a JSON object with one or more properties that need to be updated for a samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation object in Microsoft Entra tenant.

The following table shows the properties that you may update for a samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation object.

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.
metadataExchangeUri	String	URI of the metadata exchange endpoint used for authentication from rich client applications. Inherited from samlOrWsFedProvider.
passiveSignInUri	String	URI that web-based clients are directed to when signing in to Microsoft Entra services. Inherited from samlOrWsFedProvider.
preferredAuthenticationProtocol	authenticationProtocol	Preferred authentication protocol. The possible values are: wsFed, saml. Inherited from samlOrWsFedProvider.
signingCertificate	String	Current certificate used to sign tokens passed to the Microsoft identity platform. The certificate is formatted as a Base64 encoded string of the public portion of the federated IdP's token signing certificate and must be compatible with the X509Certificate2 class. This property is used in the following scenarios: if a rollover is required outside of the autorollover update a new federation service is being set up if the new token signing certificate isn't present in the federation properties after the federation service certificate has been updated. 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.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and an updated samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation object in the response body.
