Problem

After you run the Microsoft Online Services Diagnostics and Logging (MOSDAL) Support Toolkit, the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) diagnostics log shows the following error:
The AD FS Token-Signing certificate found in a token does not match the certificate registered with the Microsoft Office 365 authentication system.
Note This log is located at Admin_Applications\SSO_Diagnostic_Tests\ADFSDiagnostic.txt.

Additionally, when you sign in to your Microsoft cloud service such as Office 365, Windows Azure, or Windows Intune by using a federated account, login.microsoftonline.com may return an "Organization could not sign you in" error.
