Gateway authentication failed for 'Microsoft.Network' creating a private endpoint

Question

Morning,

I have been problems creating a private endpoint in my Visual Studio Subscription. The error is the following:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "GatewayAuthenticationFailed",
        "message": "Gateway authentication failed for 'Microsoft.Network'. Diagnostic information: timestamp '20240617T084118Z', tracking id '12d5b68a-4c90-40d5-a486-04931212838b', request correlation id 'b65a97fe-9c34-422d-8376-dfda23b91f74'."
    }
}

Could you help me with this issue?.

Hi, Welcome to MS Q&A

The error message "GatewayAuthenticationFailed" indicates that there was a problem with authenticating your request to create a private endpoint in Azure. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Verify Your Subscription and Permissions

• Ensure that your Visual Studio subscription has the necessary permissions to create a private endpoint.
• Verify that your subscription is active and in good standing.
• Check if you have the required role (such as Owner or Contributor) assigned to your account for the specific resource group and subscription.

2. Review Azure Policy and Network Security Groups (NSGs)

• Check if there are any Azure policies or Network Security Groups (NSGs) that might be blocking the creation of the private endpoint.
• Navigate to Azure Policy in the Azure portal and review any policies that might affect network resources.

3. Ensure Resource Provider is Registered

• Verify that the required resource provider (Microsoft.Network) is registered in your subscription:
  1. Go to the Azure portal.
     1. Navigate to "Subscriptions".
        1. Select your subscription.
           1. Under "Settings", select "Resource providers".
              1. Ensure Microsoft.Network is registered. If not, register it.

4. Double Check Network Configuration

• Ensure that your virtual network (VNet) and subnet configurations are correct.
• Verify that there is no overlap or misconfiguration in the subnet settings. The error message "GatewayAuthenticationFailed" indicates that there was a problem with authenticating your request to create a private endpoint in Azure.

NOTE: Most likely it seems 3rd point you may not have network as registered provider
