ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_NO_PEER_CERT

ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_NO_PEER_CERT (0x00003617) The VPN or connection-security peer did not send a machine certificate that Windows could use for IKE authentication. This differs from a generic trust error: the expected certificate was missing or unusable at the peer-authentication step.

What to check

  • Verify that the peer has a machine certificate with a private key and the EKU required by the IPsec or VPN policy.
  • Confirm that both sides selected certificate authentication rather than different methods such as Kerberos or preshared key.
  • Check the certificate chain, validity period, and certificate-selection rules on the VPN server or connection-security endpoint.
