Title: OpenVPN Question
Post by: dekchi on April 08, 2009, 08:09:24 PM

Hi

i try to search on the forum and all the document but i couldn't find the solution for this.
i have a SME server running as a primary domain controller.
i would like to put another sme server for openvpn only.

my question is can i authenticate for openvpn box by using the same username and password from primary domain controller box.
if i can please guide me to the correct place to find out how to do that.

Regards
Sut

AFAIK no.. I've found with google a openvpn plugin to use radius auth but there's no rpm for centos.

Please, explain your problem and your setup, not the solution, thank you

Ciao

Hi Stefano

thank you for your responded.

my problem is that i would like to separated the openvpn server and domain controller.
because the domain controller is loading quite heavy.
and the computer that we use for the domain controller is old.
i would like to take some load off it.

Sut
