Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution created by Microsoft. As a component of Windows Server OS, it provides users with authenticated access to applications that are not capable of using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) through Active Directory (AD).
Now, the certificate has been successfully imported in the Certificate store, see this link for the steps to import a certificate in the Certificate store. It is time to have the AD FS role installed. Active Directory Federation Service (AD FS) requires a certificate for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server authentication on each federation server. See this guide for how to create a certificate signing request.
