STATUS_AUTHIP_FAILURE

AuthIP negotiation failed for the remote connection

These status values come from the Windows Filtering Platform path. For STATUS_AUTHIP_FAILURE, wFP classifies traffic through layers, filters, provider contexts, sublayers, and callouts; IPsec policy is also configured through WFP at IKE/AuthIP-related layers.

AuthIP is used by Windows IPsec for authenticated key negotiation. This status indicates that the connection failed in the AuthIP/IPsec negotiation path rather than in ordinary TCP connection establishment.

For STATUS_AUTHIP_FAILURE, when this appears during IPsec or AuthIP negotiation, compare the Main Mode, Quick Mode, Extended Mode, transform, tunnel endpoint, DNS name, and authentication-method policy actually installed in WFP.

What to inspect

  • Check IPsec and AuthIP event logs.
  • Compare authentication methods, certificates, and crypto proposals on both peers.
  • Confirm IKEEXT is running and IPsec policy is applied.
