Use the Manage Federation wizard to manage certificates used for a federation trust, refresh the Microsoft Federation Gateway certificate and metadata, add or change the organization contact for federation, and disable or enable federation for the Exchange organization. In addition to the wizard in the EMC, you can also use the Shell to manage a federation trust.

Prerequisites

Before you use the Manage Federation wizard or the corresponding cmdlets to modify a federation trust, a federated organization identifier, or federated domains, we recommend you understand how federation works and the impact of modifying federation configuration. For more information, see Understanding Federation.

What Do You Want to Do?

  • Use the EMC to manage federation

  • Use the Shell to manage federation

Use the EMC to manage federation

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Federation trusts" entry in the Exchange and Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.

Note

The Manage Federation wizard is a comprehensive way of managing the federation trust and its associated federated organization identifier. The wizard includes multiple tasks.

  1. In the console tree, navigate to Organization Configuration.

  2. In the result pane, click the Federation Trust tab, and then select the federation trust you want to manage. By default, the trust is named Microsoft Federation Gateway.

  3. In the action pane, click Manage Federation.

  4. On the Manage Federation Certificate page, information is displayed for the certificates used for the federation trust. This includes information for the current certificate, the next certificate, and the previous certificate. The current certificate is the active certificate used for the federation trust. The next certificate is a replacement certificate that will be used if the current certificate expires or needs to be replaced. The previous certificate is the certificate that was used for the federation trust immediately before the current certificate. You can take the following actions:

    • Properties  Select the current, next, or previous certificate from the Property Name column, and then click Properties to view the certificate's properties.

    • Edit   Select the Next Certificate from the Property Name column, and then click Edit to select another certificate as the next certificate.

    • Show distribution state   Click this button to display the distribution state of the certificate in your Exchange organization.

    • Contact the Microsoft Federation Gateway to get its certificate and federation metadata   This check box is selected by default. When you use this option, Exchange retrieves the certificate and federation metadata from the Microsoft Federation Gateway. Clear this check box if you don't want to perform this refresh.

    • Roll certificate to mark the next certificate as the current certificate   Select this check box to configure the federation trust to use the next certificate as the current certificate.

      Important

      Before you configure the federation trust to use the next certificate, you must make sure the certificate is installed on all Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 servers. To check the certificate status, click Show distribution state. The distribution state of the certificate is displayed in the Distribution State column. Expand the column width to display all text in the column.

  5. On the Manage Federated Domains page, you can take the following actions:

    • Add   Click this button to add a domain as a federated domain. The Select Accepted Domain dialog box displays all accepted domains in the Exchange 2010 organization.

      Note

      To add an accepted domain to this list, use the New-AcceptedDomain cmdlet.

    • Remove icon   Select a domain from the Domain column, and then click this button to remove the domain.

    • E-mail address of organization contact   Use this box to enter the e-mail address of the designated organization contact for federation.

    • Enable Federation   Select this check box to enable federation. Clear this check box to disable federation for the Exchange organization.

    Note

    Configuring domains is one of several steps in setting up federated delegation in your Exchange 2010 organization. To review all the steps, see Configure Federated Delegation.

  6. On the Manage Federation page, review the Configuration Summary, and then click Manage to execute the changes.

  7. On the Completion page, review the following, and then click Finish to close the wizard:

    • A status of Completed indicates that the wizard completed the task successfully.

    • A status of Failed indicates that the task wasn't completed. If the task fails, review the summary for an explanation, and then click Back to make any configuration changes.
