VPN authentication

Configuring authenticated access

Enter Starting IP and Ending IP addresses. This defines the range of addresses
assigned to VPN clients.

Select the user group that is to have access to this VPN. The FortiGate unit
authenticates members of this user group.

6

Select Apply.

To configure authentication for a PPTP VPN - CLI

config vpn pptp

set eip

set sip

set status enable

set usrgrp

end

You also need to define a firewall policy that permits packets to pass from VPN
clients with addresses in the specified range to IP addresses that the VPN clients
need to access on the private network behind the FortiGate unit. The Action for
this firewall policy is ACCEPT, not ENCRYPT, because the allowed user group is
defined in the PPTP VPN configuration, not in the firewall policy.

For detailed information about configuring PPTP, see the

FortiGate PPTP VPN

User Guide

Configuring authentication of L2TP VPN users/user groups

Authentication of a FortiGate L2TP configuration must be done using the

Configuring authentication of remote IPSec VPN users

An IPSec VPN on a FortiGate unit can authenticate remote users through a dialup
group. The user account name is the peer ID and the password is the pre-shared
key. For information about authentication using peer IDs and peer groups, see the

FortiGate IPSec VPN User Guide

.

Authentication through user groups is supported for groups containing only local
users. To authenticate users using a RADIUS or LDAP server, you must configure
XAUTH settings. See

“Configuring XAuth authentication” on page 58
