We have a AZURE Connect to an outside Company. (This works fine for a while.)
On the Azure Diagnostics the only on yellow point is:
“An IPsec certificate is invalid at the moment, Connect will try to update the certificate, please ensure that the machine is connected to the internet.”
The connection is disconnected in case on wrong certificates,
The Server have full Internet access. How I can update the Certificate manually?
You need to update the Connect endpoint software to the latest version: Upgrade to the latest Connect endpoint software now
On 10/28/2012, the current CA certificate used by Windows Azure
Connect endpoint software will expire. To continue to use Windows
Azure Connect after this date, Connect endpoint software on your
Windows Azure roles and on-premises machines must be upgraded to the
latest version.

I have setup an Azure VNet and a Point to Site VPN using the OpenVPN tunnel to maintain use of the Azure AD username and password for login.
I have sample .ovpn config files but they all require certificates, beyond what is provided by Azure.
Azure provides me with the following three files:
AzureVPN\azurevpnconfig.xml
Generic\VpnServerRoot.cer
Generic\VpnSettings.xml
How should I go about using these files to configure a .ovpn document allowing me to connect to this VPN using my MacBook?
My understanding is that the certs aren't needed since we're using a username and password to login? The downloaded VpnServerRoot.cer doesn't import to the OS Keychain...
Thank for any pointers!
Unfortunately, currently, MAC OS client is not available for connecting Azure point to site VPN with Azure AD authentication. The table below shows the client operating systems and the authentication options that are available to them. Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/work-remotely-support
With using the OpenVPN tunnel, you can select RADIUS and Azure Certificate authentication for your MAC OS X clients. For Mac clients, Read Configure OpenVPN clients for Azure VPN Gateway.
Only iOS 11.0 and above and MacOS 10.13 and above are supported with
OpenVPN protocol.
and Create and install VPN client configuration files for native Azure certificate authentication P2S configurations.
I created a VPN gateway on azure and I was able to connect to it using windows 10. However it does not work on windows server 2012. I got this error.
The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server. Specifically, the authentication method used by the server to verify your username and password may not match the authentication method configured in your connection profile. Please contact the Administrator of the RAS server and notify them of this error. (Error 812)
In azure the authenticate type is Azure certificate.
I have tried some solutions online, like running some commands and applying some windows updates, but nothing worked.
Like the comment mentioned, Azure VPN Gateway supports only TLS 1.2. To maintain support, see the updates to enable support for TLS1.2. and more details: Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows.
Also, Windows OS versions prior to Windows 10 are not supported with IKEv2 VPN and can only use SSTP or OpenVPN® Protocol. See details here.
Check the above all. If you still have any question, you can contact the MS Azure support check if there is any update on the Azure side.
I decided to use openvpn as a tunel type and it worked.
Thanks for your help.
If someone comes across the same error ("The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server.."), here's what helped in my case:
In the Windows search for "ncpa.cpl" or just go to Network Connections
Right click on your VPN connection and open properties
In the Security tab, tick checkboxes next to the "Challenge Handshake.." and/or "Microsoft CHAP.."
Hoping someone can shed some light on my RemoteApp/Azure dilemma
I have successfully setup RDS on Server 2012 VMs in Azure - session host, rdweb and connection broker, opted not to have a gateway as only running one session host.
Created an self-signed certificate in RDS tools in Server Manager and bound this to rdweb, named the cert remote.cloudapp.net. I also uploaded this to the cloud service for the VMs using Azure powershell.
So via an Azure VM on the domain in Azure I can connect to remoteapp and successfully run an application.
However when I connect externally via a browser on my standalone laptop I get the following error in the RDS Log:
Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user
REMOTE\appuser. Error: NULL
I have tried the fix of look for an Pool ID of NULL in the Windows Internal Database and I only have one pool ID which is the collection I created, so can't be that.
Also get this error returned when I try to run a remoteapp after successfully logging into the RDweb page:
Remote Desktop Services cannot connect to the remote computer for one
of these reasons: Remote Access is not enabled to the server Remote
computer turned off Remote computer not available on the network
I am totally stumped, is there something I am missing that is so simple.
On a project I’m working on at my current job, we need to enable the RDP on azure web role. I've enabled the RDP but client is not being able to connect. We confirmed RDP port is opened as well.
Doesn't client needs to install certificate on his/her machine as well?
No the client doesn't need to install a certificate on their machine. When you deploy a cloud service from Azure you can opt to have an RDP account created at the point of deployment, this will automatically configure the endpoints for 3389 on the instance. Are you sure the client is using the correct case on the password and has their firewall open on 3389?
No it does not. If you're having problems try to download the assistant file that will set up everything BUT your firewall, leaving you to just hit "Connect"
Just installed azure connect on my localhost, but it won't connect. I see my machine dbates-HP as a active endpoint in my vistual network/connect section on my azure portal and organized it into a group.
I can see in the azure connect portal that the machine endpoint is active, and that it refreshes since the last connected updates.
My local connect client lists the following diagnostics messages:
Policy Check: There is no connectivity policy on this machine.
IPsec certificate check: No IPsec certificate was found.
Also tried with firewall turned off.

In some scenarios getting Windows Azure connect to working becomes very complex. I have worked on multiple such scenarios and found most common issues are related with network settings. To start investigate you need to collect the Azure Connect logs first from your machine and try to figure the problem out by yourself. I have described some info about collecting log here:

Have you "linked" your Azure role with the machine group you created? The message "There is no connectivity policy on this machine" suggests that you haven't defined (in portal) to whom this machine should connect to.
