Today none of our external workers could not connect to our RDS infrastructure.
They did not get the popup from the authenticator.

So i checked all eventlogs and saw this error:
NPS Extension for Azure MFA: CID: xx :Exception in Authentication Ext for User domain\user :: ErrorCode:: CID :ef8a01b7-f64c-47cc-b2a4-6d77008d8d40 ESTS_TOKEN_ERROR Msg:: Verify the client certificate is properly enrolled in Azure against your tenant and the server can access URL in Registry STS_URL. Error authenticating to eSTS: ErrorCode:: ESTS_TOKEN_ERROR Msg:: Error in retreiving token details from request handle: -895352821 AADSTS500014: The service principal for resource 'https://adnotifications.windowsazure.com/StrongAuthenticationService.svc/Connector' is disabled. This indicate that a subscription within the tenant has lapsed, or that the administrator for this tenant has disabled the application, preventing tokens from being issued for it.

It was enabled for almost 6 months - is there any way to find out why it was disabled? I used PowerShell to enable it again.

Also i have errors like:
NPS Extension for Azure MFA: Exception in Authentication Ext for User ErrorCode:: REQUEST_FORMAT_ERROR Msg:: Request cannot be processed without userName attribute Enter ERROR_CODE @ https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=846827 for detailed troubleshooting steps.
and
NPS Extension for Azure MFA: Radius request is missing NAS Identifier and Nas IpAddress attribute.Populating atleast one of these fields is recommended.This is not an error.

The first one - may be related that i installed it on the broker - but it is also new for me.
And how to get rid of the second one

Best regards
Stephan

    Can anyone help me with this?
    MFA is working now after i enabled it but i still get
    NPS Extension for Azure MFA: Radius request is missing NAS Identifier and Nas IpAddress attribute.Populating atleast one of these fields is recommended.This is not an error.
    It is not an error but filling my logs every time someone logs in.

    I followed exactly this documentation
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-nps-extension-rdg

    I think it would be a setting on the gateway server.
