SnapGear SnapGear warranty Add User Accounts, Configure Remote Client

STEP 2 Add User Account(s)

Once you have set up the VPN server, select Continue.

Before remote users can set up a VPN tunnel to the SnapGear appliance’s PPTP server, they must have user accounts set up. The field options in the Add New Account are detailed below.

Username	This User Name is required for VPN authentication
	only. The name selected is case sensitive (for example
	Jimsmith is not the same as jimsmith).
Windows	Optional. Most Windows clients expect you to specify a
Domain	domain name in upper case.
Password	Enter the password for the remote VPN user.
Confirm	Re-enter the password to confirm.

As new VPN user accounts are added, they are displayed on the updated Account List.

To modify the password of an existing account, Select the account in the Account List then enter New Password and Confirm in the Delete or Change Password for the Selected Account field.

Similarly to delete an existing account, Select the account in the Account List then check Delete in the Delete or Change Password for the Selected Account field.

If you request a change to a User Account and it is successful, the PPTP VPN Server Setup page will be displayed with the change noted. If the change was unsuccessful, an error will be reported.

STEP 3 Configure Remote Client

At the remote sites there is generally no need for any special client software. Your SnapGear appliance’s PPTP server supports the standard PPTP client software included with Windows. The virtual private network connection is simple to configure using the standard Dial-Up Networking software. PPTP is also compatible with Linux/Unix PPTP client software.

These instructions will cover a Windows 2000 client. Please refer to the SnapGear User Manual if you have a different operating system.
