      Open a ticket in redmine with those links, I wouldn't know about the code that deep down.

          Again… I wouldn't really know... If it's still needed even on current builds, feel free to comment on the ticket. I don't know the code in racoon that well.

                Hi there,
                I'm trying to test this solution on 2.0 or 2.0.1 release and it doesn’t work.
                On the dropdown list LDAP option still not available. Only what I’ve done that was replaced two scripts (vpn.inc, system_usermanager.php). Is it enough?
                I’ll be gratefully for any advice.
                Kind regards.

                  Hey jezyk, I tried to respond to your PM before, but the site locked up and is not letting me get to your messages anymore.

                  I did this all under 2.0. Supposedly 2.1 has this built-in now, but I haven't tested 2.1 to know for sure.

                  Anyway, just replacing those two files under 2.0 should be enough. You will need to do a little configuring to get LDAP and VPN up though.
                  Try this:

                  In the menu bar, go to >  System  > User Manager
                  Then click on the "Servers" tab.
                  Configure your server there (I use the server name 'LDAP' but you could user anything)

                  Then use the menu bar again to go to > VPN  >  IPSec
                  Click on the Mobile Clients Tab.
                  On this page, you should see the User Auth and Group Auth both set to LDAP.
                  Just configure your clients and you should be good to go!
                  ;D

                    Hi.

                    I downloaded the Files from that link: http://www.mediafire.com/?c85a7f7mrc1jkr9
                    Enabled SSH on pfsense and created a new local admin user which i used for the ssh session to upload both files.
                    Then i connect over ssh with the admin account and replaced the two files with the uploaded ones (etc/inc/vpn.inc and /usr/local/www/system_authservers.php). With my new account i had not the necessary permission.
                    Then i configured my LDAP Server In the menu bar>  System  > User Manager -> Servers and tested after that the LDAP Authentication over Diagnostics -> Authentication which was successfull.
                    But under VPN  >  IPSec -> Mobile Clients i can still only select "System" in both DropDowns for Xauth. (see Screenshots).
                    I tried pfsense version 2.0 and also 2.0.2 (latest release) with same result: i can't select LDAP as Xauth for IPsec only "System" is available there.
                    Did i something wrong?
                    I hope somebody can help me with that or can tell me a working solution.
                    I read that in version 2.1 this should already be implemented (ipsec ldap xauth) but this version is still not available or should not be used in production environments right?

                    Many thanks
                    Thomas

                      Many people are using 2.1 in production with success.

                      It is nearing RC1, so it's quite stable despite its Beta label.

                        Hi Jimp
                        Thanks for the fast reply.
                        So you mean i can already use 2.1 RC1 in a production environment?
                        Where can i download the 2.1 iso file ? I couldn't find that…
                        Thanks

                          Hi.

                          Sorry i found it :).
                          I downloaded that version  pfSense-LiveCD-2.1-BETA1-amd64-20130222-2301.iso.gz from http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/amd64/pfSense_HEAD/livecd_installer/?C=M;O=D
                          Is this the latest one? :)

                          Thanks
                          Thomas

                            Hello everyone,

                            This does not work as of 2.0.3-RELEASE.

                            Can someone confirm if it is working well with your setup?

                              Mobile clients auth works just fine with 2.1 and Active Directory for me.

                                It will not work with 2.0.x. It is a new feature for 2.1 (not 2.0.1, 2.1)

                                  Recently upgraded from v2.0.1 to v2.1 and my IPSec VPN setup (using LDAP as auth source) stopped working.
                                  I've check settings they haven't changed during upgrade and seemed OK. I've re-applied configuration explained in Mobile IPsec on 2.0 HowTo: still no success.

                                  Here is IPSec System log:

                                  It complains about a "Unknown Gateway/Dynamic" (and seems to ignore it) but can't find such thing in IPSec/Routing settings.

                                    When debugging and redacting previous post I've disabled a second IPSec tunnel (one for point-to-point VPN, not mobile clients) and now mobile client access seems to work just fine (using Shrew Soft VPN Connect software and builtin iOS client).
                                    ("Unknown Gateway/Dynamic" log message is still there though)

                                    I'll look into the settings of this second tunnel later (time to confirm that at least everything is OK with one tunnel).
