Topic: PPTP problem after upgrade 5.6 -> 6.01

[hanvc]

After upgrade from 5.6 to 6.01 we cannot connect anymore through PPTP which worked oke with 5.6.

Error: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so

Any ideas?

Stupid question,
You did turn on vpn for admin user in the server manager?

That was the best question I had in years.
Problem solved, thanks!
