Xserve VPN L2TP cannot see LDAP

After quite a bit of mucking around and getting no VPN activity through my router, I finally resolved that issue.

Only my local users can authenticate through VPN, any user from LDAP receives "The PPP server could not be authenticated"

2013-05-18 12:50:47 PDT --> Client with address = 192.168.1.210 has hungup

Xserve 10.6.8

While testing, I have all services available to all users.

LDAPv3 is on 127.0.0.1

I have run vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1

Using MS-CHAPv2 for authentication

Shared secret functions when using local user.

As per other sites and threads here, I have ensured that PPTP is currently on.

Ports are handled, we know this since VPN functions with local users.

Have reset/changed passwords for LDAP users multiple times to rule this out as an issue.

I'm not sure why the LDAP isn't able to be used. Any suggestions?

Xserve, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Some things for you to check.


  1. Make sure Workgroup Manager is set to and able to access your Open Directory accounts
  2. Is the VPN server also your Open Directory server? If not then LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 would not be the right choice.
  3. Check the VPN service permissions in Server Admin to see which accounts are allowed access to the VPN service, maybe you have restricted it.
