PPTP VPN user authentication over LDAP Server Problem

Hi All,

I have 311B Fortigate, version 5.2.1.

I have recently tryied to configure  PPTP VPN and authenticating with LDAP Domain Controller. After fist creating users then users group and then configuring the LDAP. When I finish LDAP configuration, testing is successful. when I try to connect to VPN, it is failed. After having many times unsuccessful pptp VPN connection, I looked at the policy and I changed the policy any to any policy on WAN interface in the first of the policy list. But this didn't help fixing this problem.

In order to delving into this VPN problem, I just create a local user on the Fortigate and PPTP VPN connection is working without making change the current PPTP VPN connection configuation.In other words, Local user VPN is okay but authenticating user with LDAP is not working....

As I [provide some logs and configuration at the follow section, can you please advise how I can come over this VPN problem?

If using RADIUS/Local, you may use Non-PAP like CHAP/MS-CHAP/MS-CHAPv2. For LDAP, only PAP support it, thanks.

PPTP with LDAP only support PAP.

Please check it on your PPTP client , like Windows PC

Check it at PPTP properties->Security->Advanced Security Settings-> PAP.

 

Thanks.

Thanks for your assistance. With the PAP is working. But it is not secure.... Can you advise please about which secure VPN I can use to have a secure VPN.

 

Thanks again.
