Mac Mini Server VPN Issues - Driving me insane
Mac Mini Late 2012
Late 2012
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034)
Server Version 2.2(166)
Previous Issues experiencing: Before i rang apple support and spoke with enterprise support i had no luck at all for weeks getting the VPN connected.
After calling support it seemed to have something to do with my useraccount - Guided through the process of creating new dummy account and trying to connect then. Which sssucceeded..!!!
However. Back on my main account and deleting other user accounts im facing great difficulty setting up a VPN for the purpose of a VPN.
The issue now is: Once i get connected to my mac successfully from my iPhone using the VPN server all is good to go.
However. WHen i restart my computer (For testing purposes this was done) When the MacOS boots up again I have to relog into the Server app. Resign into the program, THen try and reconnect my VPN (WHich will be impossible to do if im out of the country). But it doesnt end there. I keep having to reisue a new Shared Password. FOr testing i Used 1234abcd. Got a good connection - Proceeded with restart and then had to change 12345abcd.
So i have tested this well over 50 times. Trying to find a solution.
In summary: Everytime i use the MAC Mini Server, I have to.
1 Auto login.
2 Repopen the Server.app even though i have enabled it to autostart.
3. Log into the server app (Not another networks Server)
4 Change my shared password
5 Try and reconnect and pray it works.
Whats the quick fix for this. Its driving me insain and honestly making this a 1000$ peice of junk. Its hopeless regarding a server. I want it to be completely operational when i leave the country. My server is designed to Shut on and off between down times (Night Times) when i wake up i jsut want to be able to reconnect via a VPN and no issues, be on my way with life. Not having to wory about remote logging into the PC to then reset up the server.
Any help please!
