Description

Partner applications authorized by Exchange can access their resources after they're authenticated using server-to-server authentication. A partner application can authenticate by using self-issued tokens trusted by Exchange or by using an authorization server trusted by Exchange. You can use the New-AuthServer cmdlet to create a trusted authorization server object in Exchange, which allows it to trust tokens issued by the authorization server.

Use the Set-AuthServer cmdlet to enable or disable the authorization server, change the AuthMetadataUrl parameter or refresh authorization metadata.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Set-AuthServer ACS -Enabled $false

This command disables the authorization server ACS.

Parameters

-AuthMetadataUrl

The AuthMetadataUrl parameter specifies the URL of the authorization server. This can be the AuthMetadataUrl of your Exchange Online organization.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
Type:SwitchParameter

Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-DomainController

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

Type:Fqdn
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-DomainName

This parameter is available only in Exchange Server 2016 (CU18 or higher) and Exchange Server 2019 (CU7 or higher).

The DomainName parameter specifies the tenant domain that's linked with the AuthServer object. This parameter usess the syntax: "tenantname.onmicrosoft.com".

This parameter is used to link Tenant to the corresponding authserver object in the Multi-Tenant Exchange Hybrid. For example, if DomainName is contoso.onmicrosoft.com, then the AuthServer object will be associated with the contoso tenant.

Type:MultiValuedProperty
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-Enabled

The Enabled parameter specifies whether the authorization server is enabled. Only enabled authorization servers can issue and accept tokens. Disabling the authorization server prevents any partner applications configured to use the authorization server from getting a token.

The Enabled parameter specifies whether the authorization server is enabled. Valid values are:

  • $true: Authorization tokens that are issued by the authorization server are accepted. This is the default value
  • $false: The authorization server does not issue or accept authorization tokens.
Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

The Identity parameter specifies the authorization server object that you want to modify. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the authorization server. For example:

  • Name
  • Distinguished name (DN)
  • GUID

Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

-IsDefaultAuthorizationEndpoint

The IsDefaultAuthorizationEndpoint parameter specifies whether this server is the default authorization endpoint. Valid values are:

$true: The authorization server's URL is advertised to calling partner applications and applications that need to get their OAuth access tokens from the authorization server.

$false: The authorization server's URL is not advertised. The default value is $false.

Type:Boolean
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019

Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019
