  2. Double-click Federation Service , double-click Trust Policy , double-click Partner Organizations , double-click Account Partners , right-click the account partner, and then click Properties .
  3. Click the Verification Certificates tab, and then click Add .
  4. In the Browse for Verification Certificate file dialog box, locate the certificate file that you want to add.
  5. Select the certificate file, and then click Open .
  6. In the Trust Policy Properties dialog box, click OK .
