Symptoms

Single sign-on authentication issues.

Cause

If a Microsoft Windows Domain Controller can not reach the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) of the Awingu appliance, single sign-on authentication will fail.

Resolution

On each of the Microsoft Windows servers taking care of Kerberos authentication (for instance on the domain controllers):

1. Open a Windows PowerShell console.
2. Execute this command: 
   certutil -URL "http://<awingu_internal_ip>/crl/<AWINGUDOMAINNAME>.crl"
   "http": leave this, the CRL is indeed fetched through HTTP (HTTPS not required).
   <awingu_internal_ip> : replace this with the IP of the Awingu appliance.
   <AWINGUDOMAINNAME> : should match the Awingu domain name - always in capitals (visible under System Settings > Global > Domains).
3. In the window that appears, click [Retrieve].

If there is a problem obtaining the CRL, the reason can be found in the Windows Event Viewer under Custom > Administrative Events.

Microsoft Windows Servers should be able to access port 80 on the Awingu appliance. In customer cases, often a firewall is blocking this access.

It's worth noting that Microsoft Windows Server caches CRLs. To clear this cache:

Execute these command on the Kerberos Domain Controllers:
certutil -urlcache * delete 
certutil -setreg chain\ChainCacheResyncFiletime @now 
net stop certsvc && net start certsvc
