Title: VPN problem on 7.0rc2
Post by: alext on June 02, 2006, 06:36:11 PM

Just installed a fresh 7.0rc2 server and having problems when trying to establish a VPN from a Win2k Workstation.

Error is:  
Error 781 The encryption attempt failed because no valid certificate was found.

I used exactly the same VPN connection from the same workstation to my old SME 6 server and it worked a treat.

What have I done wrong on the 7.0 system?

Thanks.

AlexT,

  Are you VPN-ing from inside your LAN?  I think there is an issue with this in the bug tracker.

Hi Jay,

No, I am attempting a VPN externally.

Thanks to Charlie Brady the problem is now solved.

He tells me that the SME server does not use certificates. Modifying the client properties fixed the problem.

Many thanks.
