Issue: Unable to sign-in on Lync.

Error:
1.     There was a problem acquiring a personal certificate required to sign in. If the problem continues, please contact your support team.

2.     Cannot sign in to Lync. You may have entered your sign-in address, user name, or password incorrectly, or the authentication service may be incompatible with this version of the program. If your sign-in information is correct and the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
Problem Statement:
When you are trying to sign-in on Lync you may receive above errors. There error look like big however resolution is very simple. After look error message it might you are using wrong sign-in information.
Also Lync 2013 caches the login credential and Lync 2010 keep connection information that will also causes.
Resolution:

New thing about Lync 2013 is caches your login credentials and other information about its connection to Lync Online.  

When Lync 2010 connects to a specific front-end server, it caches that endpoint to make the sign-in process faster in the future.

If you have trouble signing in to Lync Online,
1.       Open Lync 2013.

2.       Click Delete my sign-in information and Lync 2013 will automatically remove any saved password, certificates, and connection settings for the user account.

 
3.       Then try to sign-in on Lync.
If issue persists then do the following.
Sometimes the endpoint can be changed and can cause sign-in to fail. To delete the endpoint cache, follow these steps:
1.     Locate the local application data folder:

o    Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (excluding Windows 8 RT):

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Communicator\\

o    Windows XP:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Communicator\\

2.     Delete the folder associated with the user’s Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address.
3.     Restart Lync 2010, and then try to sign in to Lync Online.

Thank you.
