PPTP VPN on Mac OS X Sever 10.3.9 - Unable to Authenticate Users

When attemping to connect to a VPN that I've set up on an Xserve running OS X server 10.3.9, Internet Connect shows 'Contating Server' -> 'Negotiating' -> 'Disconnecting' and then reports that authentication failed.
After much reading on these and other forums I believe I've figured why I'm having this issue and that would be that none of the users on the xserve have 'Open Directory' type passwords. So what I'm hoping is that someone here can help with how in fact I could add a user and set their password to OD type.
I've read on these boards that you can have a user with an OD password type without having the server be an 'Open Directory Master/Replica'. Is this true? And in any case, is anyone able to tell me the simplest way of setting up a user with an Open Directory password?
Powerbook G4 12" 1Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Thanks for that, using root with NeST did the trick, it gave root an OD password and enabled me to set other users' passwords to that type also.
As I'm new at setting up VPN's, I have a further question, but to briely explain my setup: I have an Xserve (static ip: 192.168.1.100), which is the server that is running the vpn and is connected to an Airport Basestation (192.168.1.1), and also a web server (static ip: 192.168.1.240). So my question is how do I enable access to the webserver over the VPN? Currently when I connect to the vpn I can't access the webserver, not can I ping its ip (nor any other ip on the remote network for that matter).
In the 'Client Information' tab of the VPN service 'DNS servers' is set to: 192.168.1.1, 'Search Domains' is blank, and there are no routing definitions.

  • Has anyone got PPTP VPN to work on Lion Server?

    Has anyone got PPTP VPN to work on Lion Server?
    I had a go with the terminal commnds posted by apple support but no joy. Since then Apple has pulled the suport article - is it because it didn't work?
    I get PPTP is less secure but PPTP seems to be more reliable don't know whey they can't keep as GUI. I've got them both running on our 10.4 server and L2TP stoped allowing connections for no reason PPTP was still working L2TP started working again on its own. Plus L2TP drops my connection when I connect with a 2nd device e.g connected with my Macbook connect with my iPhone (different username) it drops my Macbook.
    Any advice getting PPTP to work on Lion Server would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have posted a bugreport on this issue to Apple. Currently (10.7.2) it is not possible to run PPTP on any Mac OS X Server when using a 10.7 Server as Directory Server.
    I have tried 'everything', but the MPPE encryption mechanism seems to be broken.
    Edit: I see now that the bugreport is filed as a duplicate to an older case, which is now closed. I hope this means they have found the problem and will release a fix in the next update.

  • PPTP VPN not working on OSX 10.9.2

    My PPTP VPN to my office was working fine for more than 1 year.
    However, in recently weeks it doesn't work anymore. The message I got as the following screenshot.
    I believe the upgrade of 10.9.2 is the cause
    I also have Windows VM (parallels) on this box (MBA2012mid), the Windows VPN work very well before and now.
    It's very frustrating. (for me, VPN is used in urgent situation when I'm not in office). Can't believe Windows beat OSX at this feature. 
    Anyone have the same issue ? please share the solution. thanks

  • Cisco VPN on Mac existing with Apani

    Hello:
    I recently installed Apani VPN ( a Mac client for Nortel Contivity connections that connects through a browser) on the same machine with my Cisco VPN. Now for my customers with Cisco VPN connections I fail to connect with this error:
    51     11:12:50.183  09/16/2011  Sev=Critical/1          CVPND/0xC3400003
    Function SocketApiBind() failed with an error code of 0xFFFFFFFF(ike-init-state.cpp:402)
    52     11:12:50.183  09/16/2011  Sev=Critical/1          CVPND/0x43400012
    Unable to bind to IKE port.  This could be because there is another VPN client installed or running.  Please disable or uninstall all VPN Clients other than the Cisco VPN Client.
    Only problem is I cannot find this process in my Activity Monitor--I'm not sure what the process is. The is no application that I can see in my "Applications Folder".  I haven't been able to get help from Apani. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Cisco but no joy.
    Any idea how I can get cisco taking over again? If I have to choose between the two it is more important to get CIsco working. I am running a Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
    Thanks.

    Apple's support section (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306256) says "How to enable Cisco VPN connections
    You should use Cisco's VPN client software to establish a Cisco VPN connection via an AirPort Extreme base station. Note: In the Cisco VPN client preferences, make sure the "NAT-T" option is enabled.
    Note: Some corporate firewall configurations may cause issues with the Cisco VPN software.
    Please contact AppleCare support if you are unable to contact a Cisco VPN server via Cisco VPN client software and an AirPort Extreme base station.
    I'm experiencing the same thing. DellLatitude D610. Netgear rangemax wireless PC card (WPN511).

  • Trouble about vpn connecting (PPTP VPN did not respond)

    I am new in mac. These days I have searched a lot on line for the solution to this problem but none fixed it. So....
    Our lab only have an instruciton for connecting vpn under windows and I succeeded to do this by following this in windwos 7.
    There is a host name instead of ip address in the instruciton and I think that should not be the problem.
    And in the protocol of TCP/IP property settings, the user was asked to Remove the tick before “Use default gateway on remote network”.  Besides, in the instruction, it sets to obtain the IP address and DNS address automatically, so that I do not have such inforamtion about the server of our lab.
    In my new macbook pro (Mac ox lion 10.7.3), I did the following things:
    1. in system properties->network, Select the + button at the bottom left of the screen to add a new connection.
    2.  Select the following:
    a. Interface: VPN
    b. VPN Type: PPTP
    c. Service Name: SAS VPN
    d. Select Create.
    3.  Configuration: default
        server address: host name “xxx.xx.xxxx.xx”
        account name: (I am sure there is no error in this)
       encryptiong: none
    4. click Authorization settings to input the password.
    5. Click the Advanced button. and Select Options. Verify Send all traffic over VPN connection is checked. (and is not checked ) (I tried both, none of them worked). About the other seetings.
    6. On the TCP/IP tab, set "Configure IPv4" to "Using PPP." So I can not input the DNS server information.
    7. click apply and then try to connect.
    However, it returned me an error said " PPTP-VPN server did not respond. Try to reconnect. If that continues....."
    I think there are lots of experts in mac os x. Can anyone here help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance!

    >> encryptiong: none
    I found out, that you NEED the encryption in Lion Server VPN.
    I understand, that you use Lion Server as you mention the problem here in the Lion Server section.
    I do the following: Install the "Admin Tool VPN" from App-Store for some Euros. Than I found section PPTP and there is a check for
    a) Active
    b) Compression and Encryption
    I take the check for b) out and restart (Off / On), took my XP-Notebook and connected via PPTP and all working!
    Since Lion Apple hide a lot of things from the official tools and if you have some special tools, you can activate function. There is
    Level 1, the userlevel: Something like Dashboard in the new MS-Servers or the Server App in the new Lion Server
    Level 2, the administrator level: The difference between Server App and Server Admin! The Server Tools you need download separatly as you know after a while, something is missing. Same with the new Airport Utility: Userlevel tool = AU 6.0 with grafical fun and some basics, AU 5.6 is the tool for the admin what you separtly need download.
    Level 3, the special deeper view: Typically it is the command line interface, CLI, but if you need some GUI (grafical user interface), you buy an App like Admin VPN Tool and this tool (App for some Euros) in real does nothing else than comfortably set some inside switches and flags that the offical GUI admin tools not have realized.
    Why?
    Oh, I think it's because security issues. You want the Mac Server become like a Microsoft Server? So, you shouldn't use not encrypted connections and that's (in my understanding) the reason why the Lion Server EXPECTS YOU to use encryption and the official tools not give you the oportunity to switch the encryption off!

  • PPTP VPN is broken on Yosemite

    Does anyone have a fix for PPTP VPN. Works great on another Mac running Mavericks right next to the Mac running Yosemite.
    Created a PPTP VPN network setting same as the Mavericks computer, connecting to the same server at work (running Watchguard PPTP) and it never connects.

    Hi BW,
    I do use DHCP on the client and I did try "Send all traffic...", it still never connects... I thought it was an issue with the password/handshake between Yosemite and the Watchguard (remote VPN server) firewall PPTP protocol... But now I see that a previously working (in Mavericks) PPTP VPN between my office computer and my home computer now refuses to connect. There is also a bug in the Yosemite (Show VPN in Apple Menu Bar) when you first try click connect to your selected VPN, it automatically thinks you're connected (but it doesn't do anything) so you need to disconnect then reconnect for anything to actually happen... Unfortunately, it still does not acknowledge the VPN, just says "A connection could not be established...". I going to try and packet sniff to find a solution and also try to use an L2TP, maybe that will work.

  • Leopard Server PPTP VPN and Airport, can connect VPN but not AFP/SMB/VNC

    I have on several occasions enabled a PPTP VPN service on Leopard Server and forwarded the appropriate ports in my Airport Extreme with this result: Outside clients can connect to the Leopard Server, but trying to connect to the server with AFP, SMB, Screen sharing or Remote Desktop over this VPN just times out.
    The VPN seems to be working OK, but after establishing the VPN I can't use it. The client (iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.3) gets an IP, DNS, Router etc. from the network's DHCP.
    I have tried setting the server as default host with no effect.
    Everything is running the latest available updates.
    Is there any bug/problem with PPTP VPN passthrough an Airport Extreme on the Server side? Is there anything that needs to be configured other than forwarding port 1723 on the Airport?

    I had a similar problem. Hope my solution can help you.
    Check if the routers on both sides of the VPN connection use the same ip address style (ie. 10.0.0.x, 192.168.1.x). If they both use the same style then they conflict.
    I have a Airport Extreme at home and was VPNing to a server behind a time capsule. Both were using the 10.0.0.x style IP. I switched my home IP style to 192.168.1.x and everything worked right away.

  • PPTP VPN Routing

    Hi,
    I'd like to request an update for an issue raised in another topic re vpn in osx (10.4).
    ref: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=722699
    Specifically, the apple PPTP VPN needs to provide a way to specify which IPv4 subnets should be routed along the vpn tunnel.
    For example, my company vpn connects using a 172.16... ip address, however while I need to access some other subnets (administration/fileservers etc) via the vpn tunnel, I don't want to send ALL my internet traffic to the vpn.
    I could probably fix this by messing with the system scripts from the unix commandline, but would much rather have an eta for an apple provided/supported fix.
    Can anyone help.

    writing a small script isn't too hard either.
    Here is my /etc/ppp/ip-up which routes traffic to

  • Connection to PPTP VPN

    Good day! I encountered the following problem.
    On the server side of my company's PPTP VPN is installed on Windows Server2008 R2 SP1 with the roles of DHCP and RASS. On the client side I have a Macbook Pro 13 (OS X 10.7 Lion), iPad 2 (iOS 5.1), iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1), Windows 7 SP2 PC. I am the system administrator network - depends on me what the settings will be used in vpn.
    After creating a vpn my Windows PC is easily attached to it and worked in with lan perfectly.
    Also, all the Apple devices are connected to vnp - the connection is maintained without interruption for a long time, correct ip address and dns servers are set. However, I can not make even ping computers in LAN of may company by hostname or ip.
    How do I make mac work fine in the corporate network via vpn?

    Hi,
    How about recreate a VPN connection? please have a try, In addition, you can check which updates installed recently and which of them most related with VPN or network.
    Please make sure enabled the Use Default Gateway on Remote Network
    setting in the VPN TCP/IP configuration.

  • [Solved] NetworkManager-pptp VPN not working after update to 0.9.10

    Hello,
    I have a PPTP VPN set up and it's been working for a long time.  However, after I updated last night to networkmanager-0.9.10, it is no longer able to connect to the remote network.  I can activate the VPN connection, enter my password, but after a short period of time, the connection reports:  "Error: Connection activation failed: the VPN service returned invalid configuration."  As I mentioned before, this VPN was working right before the update and I didn't change the configuration on either my computer or the destination network so I'm pretty sure that this is something to do with the update.  I'm wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and if they've been able to find a solution.  I've been searching all over these forums and the internet for some hours now and I haven't found anything yet.  I'm hoping that somebody might be able to point me in the right direction or maybe know of something that might have changed with the new update.
    Here is my VPN configuration (using NetworkManager-PPTP.  I've also obscured the public IP address):

    Hmm, not sure about the 3.16 series kernel, but I found that when I upgraded to kernel 3.18 the PPTP VPN also stopped working.  This time, though, it was because, for some reason, there was a change in kernel 3.18 where the firewall kernel modules necessary for the VPN don't get loaded so the firewall won't allow some of the PPTP traffic from the remote side back in.  Since the firewall is stateful, these modules need to be loaded so that the firewall can know that the incoming PPTP traffic from the remote side is part of an existing connection.  Here's what my network manager logs looked like:

    To fix this, I had to add a file to the /etc/modules-load.d directory to have the modules loaded into the kernel at boot.  I just created a file called netfilter.conf and put the following in it:
    nf_nat_pptp
    nf_conntrack_pptp
    nf_conntrack_proto_gre
    Not sure if this addresses your problem or not, but maybe it's worth a look.

  • How to configure Multiple PPTP VPN Clients on cisco 3g supported Router

    I want the router to be a PPTP VPN client to 2 independent PPTP servers, both are in different cities in Cisco routers. I have tested with one on cisco 1841 aqnd its working fine; but when I add the 2nd, its using vpdn-group 1 and therefore connecting to the wrong PPTP server:
    here is the config for the one that works:
    vpdn-group 1
    request-dialin
    protocol pptp
    rotary-group 0
    initiate-to ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    interface Dialer0
    mtu 1450
    ip address negotiated
    ip pim dense-mode
    ip nat outside
    ip virtual-reassembly
    zone-member security private
    encapsulation ppp
    ip igmp query-interval 125
    dialer in-band
    dialer idle-timeout 0
    dialer string 123
    dialer vpdn
    dialer-group 1
    no peer neighbor-route
    no cdp enable
    ppp pfc local request
    ppp pfc remote apply
    ppp encrypt mppe auto
    ppp authentication ms-chap-v2 ms-chap eap chap pap callin
    ppp eap refuse
    ppp chap hostname xxx@xxx
    ppp chap password 7 xxxpassword
    But if I create a vpdn-group 2 and a Dialer1 interface, with dialer-group 2, its still attempting to connect to the IP in vpdn-group 1 - how do I get it to use the 2nd vpdn-group, or how do I make this work? and which cisco 3G Router you prefer because these are remote sites and only 3G Internet service is available.
