SSL VPN AD Auth ERROR

Hi.

I have a couple of users that use SSL VPN and do auth by Active Directory, but only 1 user alway get AUTH_FAILED even username and password is correct. This is my personal user. I can login to user portal and Admin, but alway get AUTH_FAILED.

I have tried to delete det user from Sophos XG and deleted the user certificate, and downloaded new configurations, but still get AUTH_FAILED.

I have also tried the suggestions from this article but no success. https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/vpn/77217/ssl-vpn-auth-failed-error

The same error occurs on both Windows computer and OpenVPN app on iOS.

If anyone could please help with this very annoying problem i would be extremly happy :)

First of All,

move the AD at the top inside the authentication server list.

Also does the user have some special characters in password or sAMAccount?

Which is the primary group of this user? Can you print the group membership tab of AD?

Thanks

Hi sindrehal ,

Could you consider changing the user from the administrator, You cannot do directly but may need to remove the administrator from local and re-authenticate again using a local captive portal . When the user is poped up in the XG set the SSL VPN profile and re-configure the client.
