When deploying Windows 10 Always On VPN using Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) with client authentication certificates, the administrator may encounter a scenario in which the user can establish a VPN connection without issue, but when accessing internal resources they are prompted for credentials and receive the following error message.
“The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request. Please try again later.”
Resolution
This can occur if one or more domain controllers in the enterprise have expired or missing domain controller authentication certificates. To ensure seamless single sign-on to internal resources, ensure that all domain controllers have a certificate issued by the internal certification authority (CA) that includes the Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1), Client Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2), KDC Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.2.3.5), and Smart Card Logon (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.2) Enhanced Key Usage (EKU). Administrators can duplicate the Kerberos Authentication template for this purpose.
Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) is one of the VPN protocols supported for Windows 10 Always On VPN deployments. When the VPN server is Windows Server 2016 with the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) role configured, a computer certificate must first be installed on the server to support IKEv2. There are some unique requirements for this certificate, specifically regarding the subject name and Enhanced Key Usage (EKU) configuration. In addition, some deployment scenarios may require a certificate to be provisioned to the client to support IKEv2 VPN connections.
Server Certificate
The IKEv2 certificate on the VPN server must be issued by the organization’s internal private certification authority (CA). It must be installed in the Local Computer/Personal certificate store on the VPN server. The subject name on the certificate must match the publichostname used by VPN clients to connect to the server, not the server’s hostname. For example, if the VPN server’s hostname is VPN1 and the public FQDN is vpn.example.net, the subject field of the certificate must include vpn.example.net, as shown here.
In addition, the certificate must include the Server Authentication EKU (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1and the IP security IKE intermediate EKU (1.3.6.1.5.5.8.2.2).
Client Certificate
Client certificate requirements vary depending on the type of VPN tunnel and authentication method being used.
User Tunnel
No certificates are required on the client to support IKEv2 when using MSCHAPv2, EAP-MSCHAPv2, or Protected EAP (PEAP) with MSCHAPv2. However, if the option to verify the server’s identity by validating the certificate is selected when using PEAP, the client must have the certificates for the root CA and any subordinate CAs installed in its Trusted Root Certification and Intermediate Certificate Authorities certificate stores, respectively.
User Tunnel with Certificate Authentication
Using certificate authentication for the user tunnel is the recommended best practice for Always On VPN deployments. A client certificate must be installed in the Current User/Personal store to support PEAP authentication with smart card or certificate authentication. The certificate must include the Client Authentication EKU (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2).
Device Tunnel
A computer certificate must be installed in the Local Computer/Personal certificate store to support IKEv2 machine certificate authentication and the Always On VPN device tunnel. The certificate must include the Client Authentication EKU (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2).
