SEC_E_INCOMPLETE_CREDENTIALS
SEC_E_INCOMPLETE_CREDENTIALS signals this condition: The supplied credentials were incomplete and could not initialize a security context. The security package received only part of the information needed to authenticate. The missing part can be an absent certificate chain, incomplete credential structure, unavailable private key, or an incomplete interactive exchange.
What to check
- Identify the security package and credential type before troubleshooting the domain infrastructure.
- For certificates, validate the complete chain, key access, EKU, and identity mapping.
- For application code, verify that all required credential buffers and fields are supplied for the selected package.
