Initialization of inbound authentication failed with an error for a Receive connector. |
Explanation
This Error event indicates that the initialization of inbound authentication from the specified source on the specified Receive connector failed. The authentication error and the authentication mechanism are specified in the text of the error message.

- Mutual TLS authentication
- Basic authentication
- Basic authentication only after starting TLS
- Exchange Server authentication
- Integrated Windows authentication

In the Exchange Management Console, you set the accepted authentication methods for inbound connections on the Authentication tab of the Receive connector properties page.
In the Exchange Management Shell, you set the accepted authentication methods for inbound connections by using the following parameters on the Set-ReceiveConnector cmdlet:

User Action
To resolve this problem, verify that the Receive connector and the remote client are configured to use a common authentication method by using the correct credentials and required certificates.
