Federate Multiple Microsoft Office 365 Domains Using Okta
Last Updated:
Overview
When using Web Services Federation (WS-Federation) on the Microsoft Office 365 application, administrators must add at least one domain to start the federation process. Administrators can add multiple domains when enabling federation for the first time or later by editing the application sign-on settings and selecting the intended domains.

Solution
What steps federate multiple domains in Microsoft Office 365?
Add a domain to an existing WS-Federation Microsoft Office 365 application by navigating to the sign-on settings, selecting the option to manage verified domains, choosing the intended domain, and saving the configuration.
- Navigate to the Sign On tab of the Microsoft Office 365 application.
- Select Edit.
-
Scroll down and select Manage verified domains.
-
Type the intended domain name for federation in the pop-up window and select it when it appears.
-
Select Save at the bottom of the page.
NOTE: If an administrator adds a subdomain to a Microsoft Office 365 domain federated with Okta, the subdomain does not appear in the Domain field after using the Manage verified domains button. Apply the federation settings to the added subdomain by selecting the Manage verified domains button and saving the configuration without making any changes.
NOTE: If the Manage verified domains button does not appear on the Okta Admin Console, the environment requires an additional feature. Contact Okta Support to enable this functionality.
