Chapter 14 Configuring and Managing Network Services 247
Adding a VPN Keyagent User
To enable PPTP in your VPN server, add a keyagent user in the LDAP folder that hosts
your users. If you have more than one folder with VPN users, add a keyagent in each
folder.
Use the vpnaddkeyagentuser tool to add the required VPN PPTP keyagent user to a
folder. The tool prompts you for the administrator user name and password of the
folder. It then sets up the keyagent user. This step is necessary to proceed with the
configuration of the VPN PPTP server.
Note: You must run the vpnaddkeyagentuser command on the computer running the
VPN service.
To add the keyagent user to the OpenLDAP master on your local computer:
$ sudo vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1
If your OpenLDAP master is not running on the local computer, replace 127.0.0.1 with
the IP address of the OpenLDAP master.
You must run vpnaddkeyagentuser with root privileges. If no argument is specified, the
keyagent user is added to the local directory domain.
Setting Up IP Failover
IP failover allows a secondary server to acquire the IP address of a primary server if the
primary server ceases to function. After the primary server returns to normal operation,
the secondary server relinquishes the IP address. This allows your website to remain
available on the network even if the primary server temporarily goes offline.
IP failover isn’t a complete solution; it is one tool you can use to increase your servers
availability to your clients.
Note: IP failover only allows a secondary server to acquire a primary server’s IP address.
You need additional software tools, such as rsync, to provide capabilities such as
mirroring the primary server’s data on the secondary server. For more information, see
the rsync man page.
IP Failover Prerequisites
To use IP failover, set up the following hardware and software.
