How to get Active Directory working with Adito SSL VPN

Sync time

* NOTE * Adito has been renamed and changed to OpenVPN-ALS. Please check out my new tutorial – How to install OpenVPN-ALS on Ubuntu Linux.

You are going to need to make sure time is synced with your Active Directory Controller. To sync the time from the ubuntu command line you must type:

ntpdate server.ip.address

Make sure that you have a static IP address.

sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces

Your interfaces file should look like this when you are done.

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map eth0

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.1

Add Active Directory Server to Hosts file

sudo pico /etc/hosts

Add this to your hosts file:

dc.domain.local ip.address.of.dc
