Which servers are compatible with a mobile VPN using L2TP?

  1. Firebox-DB and LDAP

  2. Vasco/RADIUS and Active Directory

  3. Firebox-DB and Radius

  4. SecurID and LDAP

The correct answer is: Firebox-DB and Radius

The answer identifies Firebox-DB and RADIUS as compatible servers for a mobile VPN using L2TP due to specific operational capabilities inherent to these technologies. Firebox-DB is a local authentication server built into WatchGuard Firebox devices, which enables user authentication for VPN access. It is designed to manage user credentials and integrate seamlessly into the overall security framework of the Firebox. RADIUS, or Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, is a widely used protocol for managing authentication, authorization, and accounting in network environments. Its compatibility with L2TP mobile VPNs is crucial, as it can handle the challenge-response process required to establish a secure connection. Combining these two elements provides a robust solution for handling user authentication securely and efficiently, making them a suitable choice for mobile VPN deployments using L2TP.
