Create samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	IdentityProvider.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	IdentityProvider.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. External Identity Provider Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.

HTTP request

POST /directory/federationConfigurations/microsoft.graph.samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation object.

The following table lists the properties that are required when you create the samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation.

Property	Type	Description
displayName	String	The display name of the SAML/WS-Fed based identity provider. Inherited from identityProviderBase.
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	String	Preferred authentication protocol. Supported values include saml or wsfed. 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.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a samlOrWsFedExternalDomainFederation object in the response body.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
