This introduces two small changes:

  1. Use an aggregate error to make sure the original error is included along with our attempt at providing a better error message. This change should help distinguish between bad authn/invalid cert and valid authentication but insufficient user permissions.
  2. Make the CRL Distribution Point in Windows certs optional. This metadata is required in the certs we issue for users to RDP, but it doesn't need to be present in the certs we use to authenticate our service account. The problem with including it when it is not needed is it causes windows to perform a revocation check and log a failure, which can lead to wasted time when troubleshooting.
