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 internalDomainFederation 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) Domain.ReadWrite.All Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application Domain.ReadWrite.All Not available.

Important

This method has a known permissions issue and might require consenting to the Directory.AccessAsUser.All permission for delegated scenarios.

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. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

  • Domain Name Administrator
  • External Identity Provider Administrator
  • Hybrid Identity Administrator
  • Security Administrator

HTTP request

POST /domains/{domainsId}/federationConfiguration

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 internalDomainFederation object.

You can specify the following properties when creating an internalDomainFederation.

Property Type Description
activeSignInUri String URL of the endpoint used by active clients when authenticating with federated domains set up for single sign-on in Microsoft Entra ID. Corresponds to the ActiveLogOnUri property of the Set-EntraDomainFederationSettings PowerShell cmdlet.
displayName String The display name of the federated identity provider.
federatedIdpMfaBehavior federatedIdpMfaBehavior Determines whether Microsoft Entra ID accepts the MFA performed by the federated IdP when a federated user accesses an application that is governed by a conditional access policy that requires MFA. The possible values are: acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp, enforceMfaByFederatedIdp, rejectMfaByFederatedIdp, unknownFutureValue. For more information, see federatedIdpMfaBehavior values.
isSignedAuthenticationRequestRequired Boolean If true, when SAML authentication requests are sent to the federated SAML IDP, Microsoft Entra ID signs those requests using the OrgID signing key. If false (default), the SAML authentication requests sent to the federated IDP aren't signed.
issuerUri String Issuer URI of the federation server.
metadataExchangeUri String URI of the metadata exchange endpoint used for authentication from rich client applications.
nextSigningCertificate String Fallback token signing certificate that is used to sign tokens when the primary signing certificate expires. Formatted as Base 64 encoded strings of the public portion of the federated IdP's token signing certificate. Needs to be compatible with the X509Certificate2 class. Much like the signingCertificate, the nextSigningCertificate property is used if a rollover is required outside of the autorollover update, a new federation service is being set up, or if the new token signing certificate isn't present in the federation properties after the federation service certificate has been updated.
passiveSignInUri String URI that web-based clients are directed to when signing in to Microsoft Entra services.
passwordResetUri String URI that clients are redirected to for resetting their password.
preferredAuthenticationProtocol authenticationProtocol Preferred authentication protocol. This parameter must be configured explicitly for the federation passive authentication flow to work. The possible values are: wsFed, saml, unknownFutureValue.
promptLoginBehavior promptLoginBehavior Sets the preferred behavior for the sign-in prompt. The possible values are: translateToFreshPasswordAuthentication, nativeSupport, disabled, unknownFutureValue.
signingCertificate String Current certificate used to sign tokens passed to the Microsoft identity platform. The certificate is formatted as a Base 64 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 updates the federation settings for the domain when a new certificate is available.
    		•
    signOutUri String URI that clients are redirected to when they sign out of Microsoft Entra services. Corresponds to the LogOffUri property of the Set-EntraDomainFederationSettings PowerShell cmdlet.
    signingCertificateUpdateStatus signingCertificateUpdateStatus Provides status and timestamp of the last update of the signing certificate.

    federatedIdpMfaBehavior values

    Member Description
    acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp Microsoft Entra ID accepts MFA that's performed by the federated identity provider. If the federated identity provider didn't perform MFA, Microsoft Entra ID performs the MFA.
    enforceMfaByFederatedIdp Microsoft Entra ID accepts MFA that's performed by federated identity provider. If the federated identity provider didn't perform MFA, it redirects the request to federated identity provider to perform MFA.
    rejectMfaByFederatedIdp Microsoft Entra ID always performs MFA and rejects MFA that's performed by the federated identity provider.

    Note: federatedIdpMfaBehavior is an evolved version of the SupportsMfa property of the Set-EntraDomainFederationSettings PowerShell cmdlet.

    • Switching between federatedIdpMfaBehavior and SupportsMfa isn't supported.
    • Once federatedIdpMfaBehavior property is set, Microsoft Entra ID ignores the SupportsMfa setting.
    • If the federatedIdpMfaBehavior property is never set, Microsoft Entra ID continues to honor the SupportsMfa setting.
    • If neither federatedIdpMfaBehavior nor SupportsMfa is set, Microsoft Entra ID defaults to acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp behavior.
