According to this github pull request, this functionality has been merged.

https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/pull/49

Has anyone completed it? Anyone care to share the specifics on how? I haven't tried yet and am interested in the requirements. Because it sounds like you have to have the linux server added to the domain in a specific way.

Thanks

Hello. Can anyone provide insight into this?
I followed the instructions on the Samba website and added my softether server to my AD domain. From previous experience things seem to be working fine for the linux servers ability to see and authenticate AD users. But softether isn't able to leverage how I have Samba configured to forward VPN user authentications to AD.

The pull request mentions ntlm_auth. I've even verified that I can authenticate an AD user with ntlm_auth from the command line.
