For non-zone-redundant and non-zonal gateways (gateway SKUs that do *not* have *AZ* in the name), only dynamic IP address assignment is supported. However, this doesn't mean that the IP address changes after it has been assigned to your VPN gateway. The only time the VPN gateway IP address changes is when the gateway is deleted and then re-created. The VPN gateway public IP address doesn't change when you resize, reset, or complete other internal maintenance and upgrades of your VPN gateway.

- If you exported a client certificate with **Certificate Export Wizard**, make sure that you exported it as a .pfx file and selected **Include all certificates in the certification path if possible**. When you export it with this value, the root certificate information is also exported. After you install the certificate on the client computer, the root certificate in the .pfx file is also installed. To verify that the root certificate is installed, open **Manage user certificates** and select **Trusted Root Certification Authorities\Certificates**. Verify that the root certificate is listed, which must be present for authentication to work.

- If you used a certificate that was issued by an Enterprise CA solution and you can't authenticate, verify the authentication order on the client certificate. Check the authentication list order by double-clicking the client certificate, selecting the **Details** tab, and then selecting **Enhanced Key Usage**. Make sure *Client Authentication* is the first item in the list. If it isn't, issue a client certificate based on the user template that has *Client Authentication* as the first item in the list.
