Symptom: After you replace your SSL certificates on your ADFS servers you continue to receive the following alert inside of the Office 365 portal.
Renew your certificates
One of your on-premises Federation Service certificates is expiring. Failure to renew the certificate and update trust properties within XX days will result in a loss of access to all Office 365 services for all users. Update now
Solution: This error can be caused if any of the three primary SSL Certificates that are required to federate to an external identity are nearing their experation date (Service Communications, Token-decrpting, and Token-signing).
Verify which SSL certificate is about to expire
- Login to your primary ADFS server
- Open up Server Manager
- Select Tools -> AD FS Management
- Under AD FS expand Service and select Certificates
- Verify if any certificates are set to expire
- Note: In this case, you can see the Token-decrypting and Token-signing certificates are set to expire soon
Replace the expir(ed)(ing) certificates
Unfortunately, I don't currently have a tutorial on the processes behind replacing each certificate. The process for replacing each certificate is a tad different. Here are a few articles that might help you:
