I have a mixed mode W2K environment. PDC & BDC are the only two NT4 SP6a
servers left in our domain, as we have scheduled an Active directory rollout
for this year. I have 3 firewalls and 3 full T1's for internet access, and
VPN connectivity. Right now we have PPTP & IPSEC, 150 users, coming through
2 firewalls that have to authenticate the PPTP users. We would like to move
all PPTP user to a newer firewall and make them authenticate to a w2K server
so we can use our NT authentication and not have to remove the users from
all firewalls when a termination occurs. We would like to be able to disable
their account in Windows and stop their access. I have PPTP users coming
throught the new firewall now and obtaining an IP, which I want to keep
happening, but I want to transfer the authentication to the W2K server. If
you can tell me the best way to set up this on a W2k server, I can handle
the rest on the PIX.
THANKS Randy Swift
 
You should be able to use RADIUS. W2k server includes IAS, which is an
industry standard RADIUS server. The PIX should be able to offload
authentication to the IAS server.
 
Does Active directory have to be installed?? What Ports need to be opened?
and is there a white paper or papers you suggest?? Thanks Randy
 
Has anyone got any info on this, I thought maybe Bill Grant is off today
Thanks Randy
