ARD softtware VPN and remote Macs

One little question. I bought ARD 3.0 and can connect, control, observe to a VPN Server (Mac OSX Server 10.3.9). There are also a couple of mac 10.4 clients in the same network. I cannot connect to these machines. Is this normal. Do I have to buy a second copy of ARD.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for your reply...
Yes the macs are on the same subnet, ARD is enabled. I have a vpn connection to the osx server, so I don't need to open ports 5900 and 3283 becaurse I am a member of the local network. Or am I wrong. Perhaps I have to configure the OSX firewall service
When I do portscan on the OSX server ports 5900 and 3283 are open.

VPN and Remote Desktop Connection

I have a standalone windows 2012 server that runs a domain with a few workstations. I have successfully configured a PPTP VPN and can connect using a Windows 7 computer at home. Once connected to the VPN, I can Remote Desktop to the server - but not any
other computers. The computer I'm trying to connect to runs Windows 7 and has remote desktop connections enabled.
Under the Access Details in the Remote Access Management the VPN connection is shown correctly first to the router (x.x.x.1) then the server (x.x.x.2) under Protocol 17 and Port 53. Then the server is shown again under Protocol 17 and Port 3389, which must
be the Remote Desktop connection. And then the workstation on the domain (x.x.x.20) also shows a connection with Protocol 17 and Port 3389. However, the remote desktop connection fails everytime. I'm not sure where the issue exists since it appears the server
is seeing and acknowledging the remote desktop connection. On my router I have PPTP passthrough enabled and port forward 3389 to the server.
I have attempted to use the workstations internal IP address as well as the computer name (workstation and workstation.domain.local) when connecting.
Thanks for your help.
I just noticed these three event errors on the destination remote machine. Not sure why it's trying to use L2TP?
Failed to apply IP Security on port VPN2-1 because of error: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSec require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.. No calls
will be accepted to this port.
A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPsec require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate. No L2TP calls will be accepted.
The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol service either could not read the SHA256 certificate hash from the registry or the data is invalid. To be valid, the SHA256 certificate hash must be of type REG_BINARY and 32 bytes in length. SSTP might not be able to
retrieve the value from the registry due to some other system failure. The detailed error message is provided below. SSTP connections will not be accepted on this server. Correct the problem and try again.

Morning Trent,
I don't know if this is still an issue for you, did you get it solved?
If not, check on the server whether the user credentials that you're using to RDP to the workstation are actually authorised server-side. If that checks out, on the VPN connection you can specify a protocol to use. Specify the protocol that your VPN is configured
to use on the server.

Does a OS X server manage VPN and Remote control

Dear All,
I am going to buy a Mac Mini Server for a office of 6 people. This server will have an IP static address.
Does the OS X server has a VPN installed or preinstalled to allow secured remote access?
We are going to install a software to manage project. Does the 6 iMac can access, at the same time the mac mini server and use the software?
Does the server allow multi user remote access?
If not, what can I do?
Cheers

Yes, yes, and yes.

OSX Lion Server VPN and Remote Desktop

I can connect with vpn to my OSX Lion Server from the internet to my home network.
With remote Desktop I can reach only the server itself not my other clients in the network.
With my previous environment based on Snow Leopard server that was no problem.
What could be the problem?

I have an answer, but it has taken a long time to figure it out.
I have a Mac Pro, running behind an Airport Extreme 811N router. I ran OSX Server 10.6x and after I did the upgrade to 7.5.x firmware on my airport the L2PT service died going thru my router. I simply switched to the PPTP VPN because it appeared to work fine. Then I upgraded (or downgraded) to 10.7x Server. When I did that they got rid of PPTP as an option, and my L2PT connections still did not work. I went looking online for answers, and found alot of references to the 7.5.x firmware. I ran a test to see if I could connect to the VPN internal to the LAN - thereby bypassing the router as an issue. It worked flawlessly. It definately had something to do with the way 7.5.x handles a packet.
After several trial/error sessions, I figured out that it was the DCHP service on the Airport Extreme that was causing the problem. For whatever reason if you have DCHP assign the IP address to your VPN server, it will never work. I took the server out of the DCHP pool, and gave it a static IP. Once I did that and correctly configured the interface on my server (be sure to setup the DNS correctly if you use static IP) I was able to get the VPN to work flawlessly. Was even able to turn the Back to my Mac feature back on.
Don't know if this helps, but I have personally logged 3 days on this problem over the last 2 months. I am pleased it is resolved.

Access Anywhere VPN and Remote Desktop

I have a recently installed Win 2012 Essentials server. I have VPN, Remote Web Access, enabled. I can use Remote Web Access and login to see my remote desktops and drives, but VPN is not working. Both are enabled. I'm not able to
use the wizard to config but my firewall has 443 open. My clients say they can't see the server when disconnected from the local network.
The VPN connects but says it can access the server.
Not sure where to look.
Kevin

How Cam I Reboot a Remote Mac

ARD is unable to restart a Mac on a remote network (Choose "Restart..." from Manage menu in ARD, select Mac on remote network. Result: Task fails).
Does anyone know a workaround? Unix command (e.g., reboot) perhaps?

Remote Mac was going "offline" (as reported by ARD) way too regularly. Kept thinking it had "hung" or crashed. Wanted to reboot the remote Mac without human intervention on the other end (several time zones away). That was the impetus behind my original post.
In the latest "hang" or "crash," I had someone reboot the remote Mac by hand. Press/hold the power button until shutdown, wait a minute, then press the power button momentarily to restart. Only this time, the remote Mac never came back online (or "available" as reported by ARD; kept reporting the remote Mac as "offline" instead). Began to suspect a hardware problem or worse (infection/etc.). Had the unit shipped back to me.
The "remote" Mac booted headless on my local network without a problem, but then went "offline" (as reported by ARD) within 10 minutes. Hooked up a keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Mac still boots normally, but the Network pane of System Preferences indicates that the ethernet cable is unplugged. It isn't.
99.9% sure this is a hardware issue now, specifically a bad ethernet port.
Off to the Apple Store I go for repairs.
Thanks again Tony for all the suggestions.

Any way to video chat between Messages and older Mac via iChat?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and am beginning to regret it - I discovered that I will no longer be able to help my parents troubleshoot their MacBook as they have an older MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8, and their MacBook is not upgradeable to Mountain Lion given its heritage (too old). Prior to my upgrade to Mountain Lion, when they needed help we would both launch iChat and I would ask to take control of their screen. Their account setup on iChat was through an AOL AIM username.
I looked into whether I could still launch a video sharing session with them using Messages from my end and they using iChat from their end (still with their AOL AIM username) but can find no evidence that that will work.
I am hoping that someone has figured out how to make all this work. I researched FaceTime and it doesn't appear that it supports video chatting/screen sharing.
My last ditch option will be to see if I can gain access to their machine via internet remote access - but I'd rather steer clear of that.
Anybody know how to make this work - video chat and remote screen control between my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and remote Mac running Leopard 10.5.8?

Apologies if this is what you linked to... I cannot open the link on my office PC.
Have you tried the ReelPortal app? This should be able to cover both of your needs: it allows video chat between Playbook and PC, and essentially broadcasts the video chat to a site. (I have not attempted to capture the broadcast). It's not the prettiest app out there, but does what you're looking for.

How do I connect to remote mac with ard without being prompted for username and pasword

I setup my Mac Pro to connect to my Macbook Pro (both on snow leopard at the time) with apple remote desktop when I used to select control on my Mac Pro I used to be able to start controlling my MBP straght away with out needing to enter a username or pasword.
When Lion came out I upgraded my Mac Pro and left my MBP on snw leoprd no settings on my MBP were changed I installed the ARD control software on my Mac Pro and when I clicked control I was requested to enter a username and password.
Does anyone know why I can no longer control my MBP without entering a username and pasword and how to setup ARD to allow me to do that?

Create a text file with name boot.properties in the directory <Domain_Home>/servers/<Server_Name>/security. The file must contain the following:
username=<username>
password=<password>
Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password of an WLS admin user (e.g. weblogic). They will be encrypted automatically by WLS at first boot.

I can't access my university VPN with my iPad or iPhone but I can access it with my Mac. I was wondering if there is a simple way so that I can remotely access my home computer from the iPad, turn on the Mac VPN and then access the school network?

The iosx and open VPN app on the iPad/phone aren't compatible w my school's VPN, but my Mac is via tunnelblick. I would really like to have VPN access from my tablet so I can access journals without undergoing a tedious process.
Has anyone encountered this and found a remedy? I'm imagining an app from the tablet that can access the Mac at home to turn on the VPN to the school and then have access.. But then I'm thinking id be reading through 2 screens then formatting/resolution could be a problem.
Another thought was setting up a VPN at home so that my iPad can connect to my computer at home via VPN which would then allow me easy access to journals. But I'm lacking experience in this, especially a security issue as I'm going from point A to point C to get back to point B.
I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

Cisco VPN Software and Remote Desktop Problem

Hello-
Please have patience as I just got my first mac and I'm really just learning how everything works.
Anyway, I'm trying to connect to my office network from my iMac (OS X 10.5.3) using the Cisco VPN client ver. 4.9.01 (0030) and the Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.0 Beta 3. I'm able to connect via the VPN but I cannot connect to the remote machine using either the machine's hostname or IP address.
In order to troubleshoot the issue, I tried to ping the remote machine after connecting via VPN and it fails. The name is resolving but ping fails with a "No route to host" and then "Host is down error." However, I know the host is up since when I connect via VPN from my PC I can ping the remote machine without a problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Does the Cisco VPN client for Mac not work well? Is there some simple configuration setting I'm missing somewhere? BTW, I'm connecting to the Internet via WiFi and am using a Linksys WRT54G router.
thx,
ian

Hello Ian:
Welcome to Apple discussions (and to the wonderful world of Macs). I think you will find these forums represent the best on-line community anywhere - and everyone is a volunteer!
I am no help with your problem as I have not used a Cisco VPN. However, in my previous business life I did connect my home Mac to my business VPN. I found that our IT people were most helpful in smoothing connection issues.
This forum addresses connection issues if you want to post there:

Setting up VPN with OS X Server/Netgear FVS318 and remote offices

I am a newbie to VPN and am hoping someone can help get the config right. We have an Xserve (Server 10.4) and a range of G5's (OS 10.4) in 3 remote offices and want to setup a VPN between the remote offices back to the xServe. All 3 remote office are behind their own WGT624 router. Our setup looking like this:
Remote Office G5 (OS 10.4)

Netgear WGT624 (with dynamic IP address supplied by ISP)
|
|

VPN and Internet Connection Sharing? (bridging remote networks)

I'd like to try an experiment and some advice from this list will be useful.
+Summary: Can a Mac with two interfaces activate VPN and Internet sharing simultaneously to bridge two remote networks?+
I've created a PPTP VPN server on our XServe at work and opened the appropriate ports on our firewall. This and a second location are linked with standard (but fast) ADSL broadband. I can log in from both Mac and Windows VPN clients at an external location and indeed the experience is just like being at work- printers, file servers and other resources (eg networked Filemaker databases) are all visible. Yay.
Question: Is it possible to extend this concept further by logging onto our VPN with once interface (eg Airport) +and then+ enabling Internet Sharing through the second interface (eg Ethernet)? Will this allow a small network connected through the second interface to all behave as though they are on the work network, with transparent access to fileservers, printers and so on, without each bothering individually with VPNs and so on? I suspect there are physical boxes that will do this, but it would be wonderful to know if I can get a Mac with two NICs to do the same job, acting as a router between the two networks. Are there any limitations to this? I am happy to tweak under the hood if need be. I just need to know if this is possible, even in theory, and what the limitations might be.
Thanks.

Hey Nathan...
My VPN is down at the moment, but I think your going to have to manually configure all of the "clients" who are sharing the VPN to an IP range that your office uses. When you connect to your VPN, check your network prefs, and you'll see the IP addresses assigned to your VPN are similar to your network at the office. So, in a way, your sharing computer has 2 IP addresses... one from your modem or router at home, and one from the VPN server at the office. It's this 2nd IP address that allows you to appear to be on the network at the office.
So, if you can find a way to set up your shared clients the same way.... it might work. It will also be VERY helpful if your IP range at home is different from the IP range at the office....192.168... for one...and 10.0.0 for the other. (Whether traffic will pass thru your "sharing server" is a different matter altogether.)
Now, and I'm really guessing here.. if this works at all... you may be only able to access stuff from the office on your "shared clients" (ie no internet).... the way around that is to set up your VPN to allow VPN clients to pull stuff from the internet from the office thu the VPN... and for the life of me don't remember how that is done. But it will most likely be a bit slow.
I'd start with the basics... setup one client with a manual IP address/router/dns servers, and try to ping a computer at the office. If this works... at least part of your problem is solved.
With all that said... it may not work at all. Good Luck!

ARD 3.2 and ARD 1.2 Mac OS 9.22

Hi I have got an Intel iMac running ARD 3.2 and want to remote control an old iMac G3 running Mac OS 9.22 and ARD 1.2. It recognises the G3 and when I try to authenticate it says the password is invalid when it should work. Is it just not possible to connect the two or is there some other way of controlling my G3 from my intel iMac?
Nick

It sounds so complicated. I'll try it later and let you know how it went.
Dealing with networks from outside (whether from the Internet or dealing with wireless) often is indeed complicated. If you are indeed trying to connect to this system from the Internet (and hence from some other location and having to connect through a router), take a look at this web page:
http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm
It may help.
If I'd posted a new topic, someone would've told me I should've searched for previous threads/posts before I posted!
Suggesting that you search for previous posts doesn't mean that you have to, or should, tag your question onto another thread. You're free to start a new topic, and in fact it's recommended that you do so rather than tagging a new issue/question onto another poster's topic. What people mean by such recommendations is that you try and see if the question has already been addressed before you post. In probably the vast majority of the issues that arise, the subject has already been addressed, so if you can find a previous thread, you save yourself time waiting for an answer and others from going over the same ground yet again. It's not always possible - sometime your issue is different, and sometimes it's just not easy to find previous posts - but it's always worth trying (and if you say you tried when you do post, it should keep people off your back). In any case, posting to a thread that's so old (as this one is) often won't get your post seen at all, and we don't want your issue to go unaddressed just because no one sees it.
Regards.

Vpn site to site and remote access , access lists

Hi all, we run remote access and site to site vpn on my asa, my question is Can I create an access list for the site to site tunnel, but still leave the remote access vpn to bypass the access list via the sysopt command, or if I turn this off will it affect both site to site and remote access vpn ?

If you turn off sysopt conn permit-vpn it will apply to both your site to site and remote access vpn...all ipsec traffic. You would have to use a vpn-filter for the site to site tunnel if you wanted to leave the sysopt in there.
