samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation resource type

  • Article

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Allows a Microsoft Entra tenant to federate with an external organization whose identity provider (IdP) supports either the SAML or WS-Fed protocol. This enables the Microsoft Entra tenant to allow guest users to access its resources. For more information on SAML or WS-Fed IdP federation, see Federation with SAML or WS-Fed identity providers for guest users.

Inherits from samlOrWsFedProvider.

Properties

Property Type Description
displayName String The display name of the SAML or WS-Fed based IdP. Inherited from identityProviderBase.
id String The identifier of the identity provider. Inherited from entity.
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, unknownFutureValue. 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.

Inherited from samlOrWsFedProvider.
