Copy the Policy Server Signing certificate to the SharePoint Central Administration Server

The Policy Server signing certificate you exported from your smkeydatabase on one of your Policy Servers is required to create a trusted identity provider. This certificate lets the SharePoint claims provider verify the authentication claims sent by the Policy Server.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the directory on your Policy Server to which you exported your certificate using the smkeytool command.
  2. Locate the Policy Server signing certificate file you exported, and then copy it to a directory on your SharePoint central administration server.
