Radius and VPN Authentication

RouterOS General
1

I am trying to use radius to authenticate users of a VPN. People are connecting with Microsoft VPN clients. It works fine if I set the user’s passwords and user names up in the Mikrotik. BUT if I instead try to use radius the Microsoft VPN client gives the message “742- The required level of encryption is not available on the remote computer”…

Right now I am not passing any paramaters back, just a “user authenticated.” Is there some paramater that I have to pass back to the Mikrotik to set the encryption level?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Paul

What radius server are you using?

Thanks for suggestions about disabling encryption… Unfortunately that is the whole reason we are using the VPN, to encrypt our user’s sessions. Also I figure that since everything works fine when I put the user profile directly into the Mikrotik, that it should also work fine when I use the radius server to validate.

We are using the Clearbox radius server.
