Hello, I connected the fgt100 to our domain controller to create vpn dialup with active directory users.

Connection test ok but credential test not working. I can browse the AD forest but I can't select anything. I attach some screenshots. Tips?

Thank you

Have you tried testing using the Full Name of a user in AD, not logon one? Like user joe@example.com but Full Name is "Joe Doe" ...

Yes, not working.  I'am also tried with distinguishedName ( CN=username,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com )

What have put in CN: "sAMAccountName" or "cn" ?

DN: says FG where to start search from, not sure it will work if set it to individual user...

 

Here is how it works for me:
