3. Click Continue.
4. Configure user account settings. PPTP Accounts are distinct from those added
through Users on the System menu and those added through L2TP Server and
Dial-in 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.
• Username: Username for VPN authentication only. The name selected is
case-sensitive (e.g. Jimsmith is different to jimsmith). Username can be the
same as, or different to, the name set for dial-in access.
• Windows Domain: Most Windows clients expect you to specify a domain name in
upper case. This field is optional.
• Password: Enter the password for the remote VPN user.
As new VPN user accounts are added, they are displayed on the updated
Account List .
