OK - I've got a VPN rig running really nicely. I've got net-to-net setup and host-to-net (roadwarrior) all set up. It's IPCop and openVPN based so it's clean and simple.

I want to log into a domain on the IPCop side of things from the openVPN side of things and have no idea how to do it. Probably ultimately simple, but it evades me. Any hep appreciated...

hey perk. i'll ping you once I get all my crap in order this morning.

Im not quite sure I get the setup.

Windows VPN is the target right? or is IPcop the target machine with the win box behind?

IPCop is the guardian at the site. Remote machines have openVPN on them and do connect and the physical and TCP layer is all good. I want to be able to log into a domain controller there (I think that's the term) so that they can access functions of that *windows* domain (applications, data etc). I'm afraid I'm just to nixxy anymore...

Other installation is like mine (and yours in the future to GetNet) - IPCop is the guardian at the site, I have a box here with a full time, net-to-net VPN. Complete TCP transparency between networks. Want to be able to login to the same Windows domain on the guarded side.

In and out all morning, if you miss me I'll have to catch you later. Lotsa detritus to handle today. Thanks for the effort tho...

ok sorry I was overthinking initially.

it SHOULD just ask for your credentials the first time you try to connect to anything inside the network that requires auth.

I know nothing about IPcop, but I would assume that the VPN endpoint is actually at IPcop, and it does not pass through any info of your connection to the network until you try to connect to anything inside the network.

so. try to connect to a known share or remote desktop or something.

If you are trying to "browse the network", that is a next step issue.

That did it... a simple attempt to log into any net resource forced a login screen, logged in as a domain user account and kerpow, things are better. Thanks for the nudge

I'm certain I'll be leaning back later...
