Error connecting to Azure Virtual Network - Point to Site

I followed this tutorial to create a point-to-site connection:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-howto-point-to-site-resource-manager-portal

Now, when i try to connect the VPN I get this error:

A certificate could not be found that can be used with this Extensible Authentication Protocol. (Error 798)

enter image description here

It doesn't even work in the computer that I generated the self-signed cert. Neither it works in another client that I installed the pfx private key and fails in both with the same error.

Any ideas?

Ok turns out the document to create the certs are not complete here and not mentioning anything about the client cert and it just says how to create a root cert:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-certificates-point-to-site

Here is what I had to do to make it work:

Create root cert:

makecert -sky exchange -r -n "CN=AzureRootCert" -pe -a sha1 -len 2048 -ss My "AzureRootCert.cer"

Create client cert:

makecert.exe -n "CN=AzureClientCert" -pe -sky exchange -m 96 -ss My -in "AzureRootCert" -is my -a sha1

Then the rest is documented. so have to export the root cert and upload to Azure and then download the VPN tool.
