AOVPN / Reasoncode 16
We have an always on vpn configuration. This worked fine till few months ago, users can't get connected anymore. After reboot of NPS server, all works fine for some time (random, sometimes 1 day, 2 days, 1 week), till the users can't get connected again. Reboot of nps server solves it. When users can't connect, I see an event on NPS server with reason code 16 Network Policy Server denied access to a user. Contact the Network Policy Server administrator for more information. User: Security ID: xxx Account Name:xxx Account Domain: xxx Fully Qualified Account Name: xx Client Machine: Security ID: NULL SID Account Name: - Fully Qualified Account Name: - Called Station Identifier: x.x.x.x Calling Station Identifier: x.x.x.x NAS: NAS IPv4 Address: x.x.x.x NAS IPv6 Address: - NAS Identifier: server-VPN01 NAS Port-Type: Virtual NAS Port: 14 RADIUS Client: Client Friendly Name: server-VPN01 Client IP Address: x.x.x.x Authentication Details: Connection Request Policy Name: Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connections Network Policy Name: Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connections Authentication Provider: Windows Authentication Server: server-NPS01 Authentication Type: PEAP EAP Type: Microsoft: Smart Card or other certificate (EAP-TLS) Account Session Identifier: 33373834 Logging Results: Accounting information was written to the local log file. Reason Code: 16 Reason: Authentication failed due to a user credentials mismatch. Either the user name provided does not map to an existing user account or the password was incorrect. As said, reboot of nps solves issues temporary. Already installed new nps server but same issue. Any suggestions where to check ?
