UniOTP VPN Solution
About this Guide
VPN (Virtual Private Network) refers to two different equipment (a computer and firewall) with VPN link capability that can establish a secure tunnel between the server and a client over the internet. In the tunnel initiator (server), the user's private data is encapsulated and encrypted and then transmitted through the internet; on the receiver side (client), the received data is unpacked and decrypted. VPN services are installed with Windows 2000/2003. This manual is based on the installed VPN service, named "Routing and Remote Access". You can find this service from [Start] → [All Programs] → [Administrative Tools] → [Service].
Routing and Remote Access
From [Start] → [All Programs] → [Administrative Tools] → [Routing and Remote Access], please open the Routing and Remote Access panel. Right-Click on "Routing and Remote Access" on the left-side of the panel, please select "Add server" to add a VPN server.
Right click on the newly-added server and select "Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access". If the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service is enabled, the Routing and Remote Access service cannot be turned on, and an ICS service warning message will appear. Configure the ICS service to allow then redo the above operation. After Routing and Remote Access is enabled, the following configuration wizard will appear.
Select [Remote access (dial-up or VPN)] then click [Next].
Finish VPN installation. The next step is configuration.
Environment Configuration
Right-click on the directory tree in the server name, select property and switch to the IP address tab.
If the connection is broadband routing, it is not necessary to modify the configurations in this page.
Using a static address pool will reduce the time to resolve an IP address, and will increase network speed
VPN Server with UniOTP
After building a VPN Server successfully, open the Start→program→administrative Tools and open the Routing and Remote Access control panel.
Right-click on SECU-CA (local) and select property

If you have added a VPN access user, and bound this user to a dynamic token, you can use that dynamic password and PIN (if OTP+PIN authentication method has been selected) to connect to the VPN. When following this manual, a Guest account has been added to VPN Server and to the UniOTP dynamic password authentication system, therefore Guest and OTP + PIN (for Guest account the authentication method is OTP + PIN) need to be filled into this window. Please Click “Connect”
The following error may happen:
To solve this error, please click “Properties”
Unselect “Require data encryption”→click on “OK”, and click “Connect” to start connection again.
After connecting to VPN server successfully, on the lower right corner of the screen, the following information will appear indicating that the configuration of VPN with UniOTP authentication has been completed successfully.
Appendix
Common errors upon VPN clients connecting to the server
| Error Code |
Reason |
| 800 |
Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be un-reachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection |
| 619 |
In most cases, it is caused by that the NAT-T function used for client to connect to internet is turned off or bad VPN support that does not support NAT-T in GRE and PPTP protocol. To solve this problem, you can turn on the gateway’s NAT-T. If this error happens frequently, please change the gateway equipment. |
| 721 |
In most cases, this problem is caused by client system. If users are using Windows XP SP2, this problem may happens, and you can solve it through modifying registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\<000x>. <000x> is the network adapter of the Satellite WAN port (PPTP) driver. In this key, create a new DWORD value, name ValidataAddress and value 0. If the configuration of the PPP protocol on the server is not correct, it will cause this problem as well. |
| 718 |
Wrong user name or password when dial-up, or authentication service errors occur on authentication server. |
| 734 |
Mostly it is caused by VPN configuration problem, such like PPP configuration, unsupported or bad supported MPPE. |
