Error message when you try to access a domain network resource by using a certificate-based credential on a Windows 8-based workgroup computer

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Windows 8-based computer in a workgroup environment, and you have a local user account on the computer.
  • In a domain environment, a domain user uses a domain software certificate without strong key protection. The certificate has to meet the requirements for Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication in Kerberos (PKINIT).
  • You install the certificate in the personal store of the local user account on the computer, and you make sure that the chain building is valid.
  • You create a new certificate-based credential in Credential Manager by using the certificate.
  • You associate the certificate-based credential with a domain network resource.
  • You access the domain network resource successfully by using the certificate-based credential on the computer.
  • You log off from the computer, and then log on to it again.
  • You try to access the domain network resource.
In this scenario, the access attempt fails, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:
Provider could not perform the action since the context was acquired as silent.

Cause
