Description
This articles describes how to fix the issue when LDAP users cannot connect with Windows L2TP native client.

Solution
LDAP user authentication is supported for PPTP, L2TP, IPsec VPN, and firewall authentication but due to point-to-point protocol limitations, only PAP (Packet Authentication Protocol).
As Windows native client uses MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 by default, it is possible to change it to PAP: in Security tab of L2TP connection setting, select 'Advanced', select 'Settings', enable 'Unencrypted password PAP' and select 'OK'.
