Certificate request fails with error message "The request is not supported. 0x80070032 (WIN32: 50 ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED)".

Assume the following scenario:

• A certificate is requested from an Active Directory integrated certification authority (Enterprise Certification Authority).
• The request fails with the following error message:

An error occurred while enrolling for a certificate.
The certificate request could not be submitted to the certification authority.
Url: CA02.intra.adcslabor.de\ADCS Lab Issuing CA 1
Error: The request is not supported. 0x80070032 (WIN32: 50 ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED)

The error can also occur in the same form during the installation of a Network Device Registration Service (NDES) occur:

Failed to enroll RA certificates. The request is not supported. 0x80070032 (WIN32: 50 ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED)

The certification authority will not log any error.

Possible causes

This error pattern occurs when the security option "Network Security: Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers" is set to "Deny All" on the certificate authority.

The option must be configured to "Not defined", "Allow all" or "Audit all".
