Client Authentication Agent - You are not allowed to log in from this machine

After trying to log in the CAA I get this message.

Credentials are AD domain credentials. I have tried both with OTP and without (after toggling OTP for user portal ON/OFF) but it makes no difference, in both cases I get the same message.

If I do enter an incorrect password, it will tell me Invalid username/password, so it looks like the password entered is correct.

Under Administration - Device Access I have enabled Client Authentication on LAN zone (which is where the client is also connecting). I have also enabled AD SSO on LAN zone to see if that changes anything but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

What am I missing?

  • I have it configured exactly as shown in your screenshot, so I assume that shouldn't be the problem..

  • What about the user itself? There are also configuration to login?

  • That is configured as "Use global settings", hadn't seen that screen yet though (due to auto import from AD).

  • Found the reason... For some reason the option "Mac Binding" was enabled on the AD imported groups and after that also on the authenticated user.

    Authentication worked only from the first MAC-address which was immediately set as the only MAC-address from where the user was able to login. 

    Now disabled it for the users and also on the imported AD groups.
