Configuring user accounts for VPN server

After setting up the VPN server, select Continue and to show the PPTP VPN Server
Accounts
screen as shown in the following figure:

Figure 9-4

If you selected None as the Authentication Scheme, setup is now complete. Skip
ahead to Configuring the remote VPN client.

Otherwise, before remote users can establish VPN tunnels to the CyberGuard SG
appliance PPTP server, user accounts must be added.

Note

PPTP Accounts are distinct from those added through Users in the System menu and
those added through L2TP Server and Dialin Access. It is possible, however, to create
any of these three accounts sharing the one username and password combination. This
may be easier than remembering two or three separate usernames and/or passwords.

For security reasons, it is recommended that you do not use your ISP username and
password for these accounts.
