Authenticating remote IPSec VPN users using dialup groups
An IPSec VPN on a FortiGate unit can authenticate remote users through a dialup
group instead of using peer IDs. For information about authentication using peer
IDs and peer groups, see “Enabling VPN peer identification“ in the FortiGate VPN
Guide.
Authentication through user groups is supported for groups containing only local
users. To authenticate users using a RADIUS or LDAP server, you must configure
XAUTH settings. See “Enabling XAuth authentication for dialup IPSec VPN
clients” on page 24.
To configure user group authentication for dialup IPSec - web-based
manager
1 Configure the dialup users who are permitted to use this VPN. Create a user
group and add them to it.
For more information, see “Users and user groups” on page 15.

authentication server.
