Hello DavePI,

What do you mean by connecting this server to Windows active directory? You mean for authentication? DNS resolution? Or just network access to resources? Printer sharing?

Kind regards,
Johan

Hello Johan,

I need configuration of openvpn to active directory for user authentication. I want to have one .ovpn file and users will enetring theirs name and password from active directory when they will be connecting to ovpn server.

Interesting is, If I setup access server and ldap in it, everything is OK. Users go to webserver, enter their name an pass (which is set in active Directory), and now, they will download ovpn file. Its working fine. Unfortunately Access server is only for 2 connections and I need lot of conenctions. So I'm using openvpn in terminal in debian.

Please help me. I tried lot of ways of configuration of this, but every time is something wrong.
Thank you very much

That is Open Access server designed for use a lot of peoples with easy management with fee. Two accounts for you to test system is working as you expect. If you like to save money and do it yourself just google it as peoples who make Open Access Server will never help you to solve your question. That is time and money and money in quick return . Open source mean open to distribution and contribution not mean free money. If you use openvpn as you like

Hi DavePI,

You can do it with open source, but then you have to put in some elbow grease. You're probably then looking at figuring out how to get openvpn authenticating against PAM, and from PAM to active directory using LDAP or RADIUS or such. There are guides out there but I don't have experience with setting that up myself, unfortunately. But maybe someone else from community knows a good guide and can help you out.

Access Server is designed to make life easier but it costs money if you need more connections. It already has this solution ready to go. It's a choice you'll have to make for yourself.

Kind regards,
Johan
