I too had this problem. After much searching, I thought I would enable Open Directory, create a network user account, change my iPhone VPN to use the newly created account, and magically was connected on the first try. After that, I tried using the original name and it still failed to authenticate.


It seems existing user accounts created prior to the VPN server install need something extra to get authenticated but I do not know what that is. My workaround is working just fine.
