What is Microsoft Federation Gateway?
Exchange Server 2010 uses Microsoft Federation Gateway (MFG), an identity service that runs in the cloud, as the trust broker. Exchange organizations wanting to use Federation establish a Federation Trust with MFG, allowing it to become a federation partner to the Exchange organization. The trust allows users authenticated by Active Directory , known as the identity provider (IP), to be issued Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) delegation tokens by MFG. The delegation tokens allow users from one federated organization to be trusted by another federated organization. With MFG acting as the trust broker, organizations are not required to establish multiple individual trust relationships with other organizations. Users can access external resources using a single sign-on (SSO) experience
What is Federation Trust?
A Federation Trust is established between an Exchange organization and MFG by exchanging the organization’s certificate with MFG, and retrieving MFG’s certificate and federation metadata. The certificate is used for encrypting tokens

organization and Microsoft Federation Gateway, and the Federated Organization
Identifier is configured.
·Although you can create a sharing policy for any external domain, recipients from the specified domain can access your users’ information only if they have a mailbox in an Exchange 2010 organization and their domain is federated
·Although you can create a sharing policy for any external domain, recipients from the specified domain can access your users’ information only if they have a mailbox in an Exchange 2010 organization and their domain is federated
