"Broker Proxy failed to communicate with the cloud DDC."
 
Cloud Connector CDF error: 
BrokerProxyPlugin.LocalTest - Failed to test the VDA communication - System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException: SOAP security negotiation with 'http://10.x.x.x/Citrix/VirtualDesktopAgent/IQueryAgent'; for target 'http://10.x.x.x/Citrix/VirtualDesktopAgent/IQueryAgent'; failed. See inner exception for more details. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) negotiation failed.

Resolution

 

You may have a cross-forest trust set up, which uses RC4 on the trust relationship. In this case, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4492348/kerberos-unsupported-etype-error-when-authenticating-across-trust for more details and a method to configure the trust to use AES128 and AES256 encryption.

A second solution is to enable RC4 Kerberos encryption type on the Connectors through Group Policy:

  • Navigate to Local Group Policy Editor --> Computer Configuration --> Windows Settings --> Security Settings --> Local Policies --> Security Options 
  • Select --> Network Security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos
  • Update Local Security Setting RC4_HMAC_MD5 so box is checked.
  • Select 'Apply'


Problem Cause

Group Policy was modified on the Cloud Connectors restricting kerberos to only support encryption method AES128_HMAC_SHA1 & AES256_HMAC_SHA1

Kerberos session ticket being denied from the domain controller due to non-supported encryption type.
