“CredSSP encryption oracle remediation” error when you try to RDP to a Windows VM in Azure 

Content provided by Microsoft 

Applies to: Azure  

Select Product Version  

Symptoms 

Consider the following scenario: 

In this scenario, you receive the following error message:  

An authentication error has occurred. The function requested is not supported. Remote computer: <computer name or IP>. This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660. 

How to verify that the CredSSP update is installed 

Check the update history for the following updates, or check the version of TSpkg.dll.

RS3 – Windows 10 1709 10.0.16299.431 KB4103727 

Cause 

This error occurs if you are trying to establish an insecure RDP connection, and the insecure RDP connection is blocked by an Encryption Oracle Remediation policy setting on the server or client. This setting defines how to build an RDP session by using CredSSP, and whether an insecure RDP is allowed. 

See the following interoperability matrix for scenarios that are either vulnerable to this exploit or cause operational failures. 

    Server    
    Updated Force updated clients Mitigated Vulnerable 
Client Updated Allowed Blocked2 Allowed Allowed 
 Force updated clients Blocked Allowed Allowed Allowed 
 Mitigated Blocked1 Allowed Allowed Allowed 
 Vulnerable Allowed Allowed Allowed Allowed 

Examples 

  

1 The client has the CredSSP update installed, and Encryption Oracle Remediation is set to Mitigated. This client will not RDP to a server that does not have the CredSSP update installed. 

2 The server has the CredSSP update installed, and Encryption Oracle Remediation is set to Force updated clients. The server will block any RDP connection from clients that do not have the CredSSP update installed. 

Resolution 

To resolve the issue, install CredSSP updates for both client and server so that RDP can be established in a secure manner. For more information, see CVE-2018-0886 | CredSSP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. 

How to install this update by using Azure Serial console 

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal, select Virtual Machine, and then select the VM. 
  2. Scroll down to the Support + Troubleshooting section, and then click Serial console (Preview). The serial console requires Special Administrative Console (SAC) to be enabled within the Windows VM. If you do not see SAC> in the console (as shown in the following screen shot), go to the “How to install the update by using Remote PowerShell” section in this article. 
     
     
  1. Type cmd to start a channel that has a CMD instance.  
  2. Type ch-si 1 to switch to the channel that is running the CMD instance. You receive the following output: 
     
     
  1. Press Enter, and then enter your login credentials that have administrative permission. 
  2. After you enter valid credentials, the CMD instance opens, and you will see the command at which you can start troubleshooting. 
     
     
  1. To start a PowerShell instance, typePowerShell. 
  2. In the PowerShell instance, run the Serial console script based on the VM operating system. This script does the following:  
       
    • Create a folder in which to save the download file. 
    • Download the update. 
    • Install the update. 
    • Add the vulnerability key to allow non-updated clients to connect to the VM. 
    • Restart the VM 

How to install this update by using Remote PowerShell  

  1. On any Windows-based computer that has PowerShell installed, add the IP address of the VM to the “trusted” list in the host file, as follows: 
    Set-item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -value <IP> 
  2. In the Azure portal, configure Nework Security Groups on the VM to allow traffic to port 5986. 
  3. In the Azure portal, select Virtual Machine > <your VM>, scroll down to the OPERATIONS section, click the Run command, and then run EnableRemotePS.  
  4. On the Windows-based computer, run the Remote PowerShell script for the appropriate system version of your VM. This script does the following:  
    • Connect to Remote PowerShell on the VM. 
    • Create a folder to which to save the download file. 
    • Download the Credssp update. 
    • Install the update. 
    • Set the vulnerability registry key to allow non-updated clients to connect to the VM. 
    • Enable Serial Console for future and easier mitigation. 
    • Restart the VM. 

Workaround 

Warning 

After you change the following setting, an unsecure connection is allowed that will expose the remote server to attacks. Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur. 

Scenario 1: Updated clients cannot communicate with non-updated servers 

The most common scenario is that the client has the CredSSP update installed, and the Encryption Oracle Remediation policy setting does not allow an insecure RDP connection to a server that does not have the CredSSP update installed. 

To work around this issue, follow these steps: 

  1. On the client has the CredSSP update installed, run gpedit.msc, and then browse to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation in the navigation pane.  
  2. Change the Encryption Oracle Remediation policy to Enabled, and then change Protection Level to Vulnerable. 

If you cannot use gpedit.msc, you can make the same change by using the registry, as follows: 

  1. Open a Command Prompt window as Administrator. 
  2. Run the following command to add a registry value: 
    REG ADD HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\CredSSP\Parameters\ /v AllowEncryptionOracle /t REG_DWORD /d 2 

Scenario 2: Non-updated clients cannot communicate with patched servers 

If the Azure Windows VM has this update installed, and it is restricted to receiving non-updated clients, follow these steps to change the Encryption Oracle Remediation policy setting: 

  1. On any Windows computer that has PowerShell installed, add the IP of the VM to the “trusted” list in the host file: 
    Set-item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -value <IP> 
  2. Go to the Azure portal, locate the VM, and then update the Network Security group to allow PowerShell ports 5985 and 5986. 
  3. On the Windows computer, connect to the VM by using PowerShell: 
    For HTTP: 
    $Skip = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck Enter-PSSession -ComputerName “<<Public IP>>” -port “5985” -Credential (Get-Credential) -SessionOption $Skip 
     
    For HTTPS: 
    $Skip = New-PSSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck Enter-PSSession -ComputerName “<<Public IP>>” -port “5986” -Credential (Get-Credential) -useSSL -SessionOption $Skip 
  4. Run the following command to change the Encryption Oracle Remediation policy setting by using the registry: 
    Set-ItemProperty -Path ‘HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\CredSSP\Parameters’ -name “AllowEncryptionOracle” 2 -Type DWord
