G-Stress Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Has anybody successfully installed Adito OpenVPN-als with server 2k8 AD? I'm stuck where it asks for Domain Service Account & Password. I guess I'm not sure what exactly I need here. I've tried all my user accounts, Local System, Local Service, Network Service, etc. it doesn't like a space in the name either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I don't think its a domain account you have to login as, you will have to create an user account within Adito, if you want to be able to log into it. I am pretty sure that's how Darren set up the user accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Stress Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Ok I'll give that a try later this evening. I'll have to re-watch that ep probably. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Stress Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 I didn't watch the ep again yet, but I think Darren used the built in database for user accounts when he did it. As far as creating an account it doesn't give the option to do so until after that part of the setup it seems. googling for some other forums relating to Adito hasn't turned up much of anything helpful. Seems most people installed using the built in db as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Stress Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 I got it, did a little more digging and found a solution here for anyone interested. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-als/forums/forum/824507/topic/3136290?message=6950901 Apparently, it doesn't like "localhost" as the DC hostname it likes it's IP better. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I managed to get it running with Server 2K3 AD a while back, but not 2K8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Stress Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 I managed to get it running with Server 2K3 AD a while back, but not 2K8. Yea I tried with 2k3 in a VM and had the same issue, but it was all because of using localhost and the hostname instead of the ip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm gonna set up a virtual lab and get to the bottom of it. Will try to post the results in here in due time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Werner Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Infiltrator: Try to use the SVN-build (if you didn't) and see if the integration works: http://lars.werner.no/?page_id=515 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 OK, here is what I found out: At some point during the installation, it prompted me to configure a user database. Two options are available. 1) Active Directory 2) Built-in I selected the first option, since I am running a domain controller. The next thing you will need to ensure, is that when configuring Adito to interact with the Active Directory, is that all the domain settings correct, or other wise Adito will not be able to communicate with the active directory. Since the AD is being used, all users account shall be maintained via the "User and Computers Active Directory". If that's not that case, just select the second option and remember to create the user accounts within Aditos admin interface, not the domain controller AD. Hope this helps.

G-Stress Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sweet! Glad you got it up and going. I used it for a bit with AD, but the downside is apparently it doesn't dynamically update the User's or Groups. e.g. whatever user's and groups you have on the DC when implementing adito is what you get to work with in adito. If you create a new user or group, adito may see that user or group after some time, but it won't let you log-in with that user, or make any changes to that group on the adito side. I ended up going with the built in. A little more work managing everything in AD and in Adito, but it works. I'm sure fixing the group and user issue may be simple I actually didn't even research it. If you do and get it working I'd love to know the fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
