Follow these steps:

1. Open the Administrative UI to change Policy Server objects.
2. Define virtual attribute mappings.
3. Add directory connections.
4. Run the SharePoint connection wizard.
5. If you changed the value of an existing Claim Name (attribute), do the following steps:
   1. Remove the web applications from the trusted identity provider.
   2. Remove the trusted identity provider.
   3. Copy the PowerShell script to the SharePoint central administration server.
   4. Determine the PowerShell script modifications (pick one of the following procedures):
      • Modify the script for an un‑trusted certificate authority.
      • Modify the script for an un‑trusted self-signed certificate.
      • Modify the script for a trusted certificate authority.
   5. Add certificate authority certificates.
   6. Run the PowerShell script.
   7. Verify the trusted identity provider registration.
   8. (Optional) Disable client loopback.
   9. Add users to your web applications.
