ADFS authentication issue for Active Directory users when extranet lockout is enabled

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) server and multiple Active Directory domain controllers.
  • This ADFS server has the EnableExtranetLockout property set to TRUE.
  • An Active Directory user is created on a replica of a domain controller, and the user has never tried to log in with a bad password.

In this scenario, the Active Directory user cannot authenticate with ADFS, and the exception Microsoft.IdentityServer.Service.AccountPolicy.ADAccountLookupException is thrown.

Cause

This issue occurs because the badPwdCount attribute is not replicated to the domain controller that ADFS is querying.
