      Hi all,
       We've been using pfSense for a while now, and absolutely love it!  I have vpn up and running, but I'm hitting some issues.  Here's what we currently have.

      Internet – WAN --> PfSense --> OS X Server 10.5

      Currently we're supporting ipsec and pptp.  This works well for most users.  Some users can't seem to connect.  I know it's a problem with their accounts and the open directory configuration, not with pfSense.  I cannot connect with their user names when mine works correctly outside our network.  Apple seems to be at a loss to help us, and I'm absolutely stumped as all the vpn groups appear configured correctly.  I'd like to try to let pfSense provide the VPN service, but I can't find any doc on connecting pfSense to an LDAP back end for authentication.  Since we run Open Directory, which is build on open ldap, is it possible to configure LDAP queries for user authentication within pfSense?

      Thanks,
      Todd

        Hey guys,
          Sorry for the minimalist post.  I'm running version 2.0.  I've read this blog post.

        http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=174

        I can't seem to find the doc on how to do this anywhere, did this get cut in order to get the 2.0 release out earlier?

        Thanks
