KB5014754: Certificate-based authentication changes on Windows domain controllers
The article KB5014754 outlines important changes to certificate-based authentication requests on Windows domain controllers, including updates to the security requirements timeline. To enhance security, the February 2025 Windows security update will introduce Full Enforcement mode, which will deny authentication for certificates that do not meet expected mapping requirements. Devices that do not already have the StrongCertificateBindingEnforcement registry value set to 2 will be moved to Full Enforcement mode by the February 2025 update, with options to move back to Compatibility mode until September 2025.
Windows updates after September 2025 will no longer support StrongCertificateBindingEnforcement registry values. To prepare for these changes, review the KB5014754 article's Take action, Full Enforcement mode, and Registry key information sections and take the appropriate security measures.
For further details and additional information, consult the KB5014754 article, which can be accessed through the provided link. This article is provided by M365 Admin and was last updated on September 10, 2024.
