Resolve
Remove the duplicate verification certificates that are listed in the trust policy file
This error occurs only if the trust policy file has been modified without the use of the Active Directory Federation Services snap-in.
Check that there are no duplicate verification certificates listed in the trust policy file, and verify that there are no duplicate items in the collection that is given in the event.
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To locate duplicate verification certificates:
- In Notepad or another text editor, open the TrustPolicy.xml file that, by default, is in %systemdrive%\windows\systemdata\adfs.
- Check the VerificationMethod sections for any duplicate verification certificates.
- Remove any duplicate verification certificates that may exist.
Verify
Verify that you can access the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)-enabled application from a client browser and that the resource can be accessed.
