Update a Microsoft Federation Gateway Support Certificate

Applies To: Windows Server 2012

You can update the token decryption certificate or the Microsoft Federation Gateway certificate, as needed. Because the token decryption certificate is the SSL certificate for the Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) cluster, you must update the token decryption certificate if the cluster SSL certificate expires. After you update the token decryption certificate, you must grant the AD RMS Services group permission to access the certificate on all servers in the AD RMS cluster.

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 token decryption 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 .
