Syntax
Usage Guidelines
This command configures VPN authentication settings for VPN, RAP and CAP clients.
Use the vpdn group command to enable and configure Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol and Internet Protocol
Security (L2TP/IPsec) or Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) VPN connection. (See “vpdn group l2tp” on
page 1286.)
Example
The following command configures VPN authentication settings for the default-rap profile:
aaa authentication vpn default-rap
default-role guest
clone default
max-authentication-failures 0
server-group vpn-server-group
The following message appears when a user tries to configure the non-configurable default-cap profile:
Parameter Description Default
<profile-name> There are three VPN profiles: default, default-rap or default-cap.
This allows users to use different AAA servers for VPN, RAP and CAP clients.
NOTE: The default and default-rap profiles are configurable. The default-cap
profile is not configurable and is predefined with the default settings.
cert-cn-lookup If you use client certificates for user authentication, enable this option to verify
that the certificate's common name exists in the server. This parameter is
enabled by default in the default-cap and default-rap VPN profiles, and disabled
by default on all other VPN profiles.
clone <source> Copies data from another VPN authentication profile. Source is the profile name
from which the data is copied.
default-role
<role>
Role assigned to the VPN user upon login.
NOTE: This parameter requires the Policy Enforcement Firewall for VPN Users
(PEFV) license.
