Hi. i'm having issues to authenticate vpn users throught a remote ldap server.
i have created the addresses, portal, policys and everything works fine with local users.
But if i add a remote group to authenticate i can't grant access.
What i did:
Under users authentication,ldap i have created a ldap server, test were successful.
Under users, group, i have created a new group for vpn with remote server. i was able to browse ldap tree and add vpn users group.
The i added that group into the ssl vpn portal, and edit the policy to allow access for users in this group.
When i try to connect i got access denied.
I did the same steps on other unit and everything worked fine.
Software Version 5.2.3 patch 670 on both units.
PD: i think i have a problem with ldap because when i try to configure sso in polling mode, i'm able to browse ldap tree, but when i select a group, and i try to apply those changes i got an error of object not found.
Thanks.
I solved it.
The prioblem was that fortigate was sending the cn to the domain controller and i was trying to authenticate using the samaccountname.
