Mac OS X 10.8 PPTP Authentication Fails

Please help. I have a Mac OS X 10.8.2 Server and I want to remotely VPN onto the network to access files on the sharepoints. The correct ports are forwarded on the router. My MacBook Pro says it's connecting but then says authentication fails even though the username and password are correct. The server VPN log sees the incoming connection but then:

This isn't Lion, however... Similar problem on 10.9.1 Server.


I migrated a 10.8 ODmaster to 10.9.1 (archived, setup new server with DNS and host name to match, restored from archive). Everything works, except VPN_PPTP...


DSAuth plugin: MPPE key required, but its retrieval failed.


This old thread provided a solution. Still works in 10.9 server!

Delete the user "VPN MPPE Key Access User" (In Server.app, choose view -> Show System Accounts)


Add a new one:

sudo vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1


Restart VPN service.

PPTP VPN works as before...

You're my hero! I've just updated OS X Server from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 in OS X Server 10.9.2 and PPTP wasn't working anymore... I've been searching a solution for hours!


Many thanks!
