STATUS_FWP_DUPLICATE_AUTH_METHOD

The IPsec policy contains duplicate authentication methods

WFP rejects redundant authentication-method lists. The same method repeated inside one policy is a configuration error and should be removed rather than retried.

Review the authentication-method list for repeated entries introduced by policy merge or generation. Remove the duplicate at its source so the effective proposal contains each intended method only once.

What to inspect

  • Deduplicate machine, user, certificate, Kerberos, or preshared-key methods.
  • Check policy merge code that appends methods repeatedly.
  • Compare generated policy before and after Group Policy refresh.
