Examples
Example 1: Add a token-signing certificate
PS C:\> Add-AdfsCertificate -CertificateType "Token-Signing" -Thumbprint "fedd995b45e633d4ef30fcbc8f3a48b627e9a28b"
This command adds a token-signing certificate with the thumbprint fedd995b45e633d4ef30fcbc8f3a48b627e9a28b
.
Parameters
-CertificateType
Specifies the type and purpose of the certificate. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
Type: | String |

Notes
- Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 uses certificates for issuing and receiving tokens, publishing federation metadata and communicating through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
