Azure-docs: Incorrect Variables in PowerShell Steps

[tylerpieper]

In Step 2 under "Configuring a domain in your Azure AD Directory for federation", a template is provided for setting up a SAML IdP. The variables established are $dom, $BrandName, $LogOnUrl, $LogOffUrl, $ecpUrl, $MyURI, $MySigningCert, and $Protocol.

The variables called in Set-MsolDomainAuthentication are $dom (twice), $MyURI, $ecpUrl, $MySigningCert, $uri, $url, and $Protocol.

$BrandName isn't used when it should be ($dom is used instead), $uri and $url are called but never declared.

The second part SHOULD look like this:
Set-MsolDomainAuthentication -DomainName $dom -FederationBrandName $BrandName -Authentication Federated -PassiveLogOnUri $LogOnUrl -ActiveLogOnUri $ecpUrl -SigningCertificate $MySigningCert -IssuerUri $MyURI -LogOffUri $LogOffUrl -PreferredAuthenticationProtocol $Protocol

The variable naming could also be changed up a bit to be a little more clear as to what should go in each, but that's more minor.
