    Use Powershell to remove and redo the certificate properties or use the set-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer   Get-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer   Remove-SPTrustedIdentityTokenI Set-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer

    Some times we get the error if we do setting securitytokenservice certificate multiple times no need to worry proceed with further steps.
