Client VPN authentication merhod

[tantony]

I’m using Meraki cloud authentication for VPN. I have a single account for VPN users. Because of the virus everyone is working from home and some complained about disconnecting from VPN. 

I called Meraki and they said only 5 users can login with the same VPN account. I created some temp accounts and this seem to have solved the issue. 

If I use Active Directory authentication for VPN so that each user logs in with their Windows account, that should also solve the problem right?

That limit is set on the firewall as a global setting. I.E. it applies to all VPN users. I've been told they can decrease it but not sure if they can increase it.

I would recommend setting up RADIUS auth with Windows AD, yes. NPS is pretty simple.

I have the RADIUS auth with NPS setup and i just need to change it in Meraki. 

Thanks.
