Title: How to add the VPN users component to AD
Post by: dbaddour on October 19, 2017, 02:50:25 PM

Good day all,

we have SME server acting as GW and also as VPN server for remote users. I would like to integrate the VPN users with our 2012 Window Active Directory. so the user VPN password/username will be the same as it will be pulled from the AD?
I have looked around the forum, many suggested to use 3rd party. Can that be done with LDAP even if i point it to authenticate with AD?

Any suggestions or how to?

Much appreaciated

Thank you

David

SME currently doesn't support any kind of integration with an external DC (either PDC NT style or DC AD style)

so, if you want such a thing you're on your own, sorry

PPTP ? Almost not worth having....

The l2tpd ipsec will do authemt to SME. No idea about Windows.

Softether does all sorts but again not sure abiut Windows.

Both are 100% more secure than PPTP....
