VPN Authentication with Active Directory
I am running a Freedom9 Freeguard 100 UTM Firewall and trying to setup PPTP with LDAP Authentication.
The server is a SBS 2003 box which has the following Active Directory configuration:
The CN looks like OU=Company_Users,OU=Users,
The firewall is working with local PPTP user accounts that I created but not with accessing from LDAP. I have gone over all the settings with the Firewall manufacture and everything is setup and they mentioned it is a problem with LDAP.
When I run their diagnostic test it fails with every user in the Company_Users OU. But if I test Admininistrator which is under CN=Users,DC=company,DC=loc
In my firewall I have the CommonName as CN and the Distinguished name as OU=Company_Users,OU=Users,
Any Ideas?

No, it's really not better... the server won't get a break anyhow because it's still authenticating, and it's still handling all of the traffic.
Furthermore, since SBS has centralized management, you only need to configure things in one place.
Users that you want to have VPN access need to be assigned either the Mobile User or Administrative User Template when you add the account with the SBS Add User wizard. Or if the user account already exists, all you need to do is run the Change User Permissions Wizard to apply the appropriate template.
