User can't connect via IPSec VPN, ClientLog: no RSA private key found

Hello, 

I've got the following Problem. A Sophos UTM 9.711-5 syncs users from AD. These users accounts then get activated for an IPSec remote access. Normally that works just fine, user is created in AD, synced with UTM, gets clearance for user portal and get inserted into the existing IPSec configuration along with preexisting users.

Somehow that does not work for one single user. Whenever the connection is being build up the message "Child SA (Security Association) could not be established.

The client log says, the RSA private key could not be found

Honestly I know what the error messages mean but I've not idea why they pop up or what causes them. Everything is done the exact same way as with every other user. I tried connecting from different Sophos Connect versions, different networks, different firewall settings, I deleted the user an recreated it, always the same outcome.

Any Advice, Hint or Solution would be more then welcome. Thank you very much.

    The User didn't have an e-mail entry in the AD, adding that later on in the UTM didn't have an effect on the certificate. So the user was deleted from the UTM, the e-mail address added in the AD and afterwards synced again with the UTM. Et voilà IPSec Tunnel works like a charm. -.-
