VPN Connection - user Authentication Failed

[orchard_david]

Hi,

Having problem with our VPN. Setup is as follows:

Client has Cisco VPN Client 4.02(D) and is connecting to our PiX 515. This is turn uses IAS on Windows 2003 Server to authenticate. According to the IAS logs, the user is athenticating fine. However the client comes up with the message that Authentication has failed. The Radius packets appear to be getting in, but not getting out. How can i confirm / check this.

Many thanks

David

Hi David,

Configure local authentication for authentication and confirm if the PIX configurations are correct. By this you can isolate PIX and confirm that the radius has some issue.

aaa-server LOCAL protocol local

crypto map mymap client authentication LOCAL

username aaa password xyz

Also try using debug radius all and see what exactly happens in PIX.
