Steps

Attribute definition

First of all, will be mandatory to create two new attributes 

  • User principal name
  • AD SID

Bear in mind, that those attributes have to be retrieved from the appropriate system:

And those attributes have to be defined in the object metadata:

Configure Exchange

Finally, you must configure the Exchange.

1.- Upload the SAML certificate to the certificate repository

2.- Search for the thumbprint of the certificate:

Set-Location Cert:\LocalMachine\Root; Get-ChildItem | Short-Object Subject

3.- From the Exchange Management Shell, run:

Set-OrganizationConfig -AdfsIssuer https://gbr.idp.demo.soffid.net/profile/wsfed `
   -AdfsAudienceUris "https://gbr.owa.demo.soffid.net/owa/","https://gbr.owa.demo.soffid.net/ecp/"  `
   -AdfsSignCertificateThumbprint <"thumbprint of the certificate">XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity "OWA (Default Web Site)" -AdfsAuthentication $true   `
  -BasicAuthentication $false -DigestAuthentication $false -FormsAuthentication $false `
  -WindowsAuthentication $false
Set-ECPVirtualDirectory -Identity "ECP (Default Web Site)" -AdfsAuthentication $true   `
  -BasicAuthentication $false -DigestAuthentication $false -FormsAuthentication $false `
  -WindowsAuthentication $false
net stop was /y
net start  w3svc


The server must be up to date. Otherwise WS-Fed will reject the response
