Ubuntu/linux vpn connection with certificate

certificatelinux-networkingUbuntuvpn

I want to connect to a windows pptp vpn server which accepts only connections with a CA certficate.

From windows im able to do it easily (since its windows of course and native supported) but from my ubuntu 10.04 im not able to setup the vpn to authenticate using a certificate.

any help/hint?

Sure there's a way to do it, you'll need to muck about in some source code to do it though.

You need to use PPTP with certificates. Certificates aren't supported out of the box in linux. But there is a patch available.

Look through the documentation, give it a try, and report back.
