Updating the Microsoft Federation Gateway Certificate

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1

You can update the Microsoft Federation Gateway certificate, as needed. Normally, you do not need to update this certificate unless your Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) is unable to do so automatically.

Membership in the AD RMS Enterprise Administrators and the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

To update the Microsoft Federation Gateway certificate

  1. Log on to a server in the AD RMS cluster.

  2. Open the Active Directory Rights Management Services snap-in and expand the AD RMS cluster.

  3. Expand Trust Policies, and then click Microsoft Federation Gateway Support.

  4. In the pane, click Configure Microsoft Federation Gateway settings.

  5. In the Enroll Cluster with Microsoft Federation Gateway wizard, click Update Microsoft Federation Gateway Settings, select Update Microsoft Federation Gateway Certificate, and then click Next.

  6. Click Finish.
