Is it possible to connect to Azure VPN from Windows 7 using EAPTLS authentication?

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone,


maybe here someone can help me or can answer to my question.

Unfortunately I do not know if I'm using correct names for some things - if no then sorry.

I need to connect to some SQL server in Azure infrastructure using VPN form Windows 7 machine. I have two XML files with configuration:

a) one is for Azure VPN Client - this file is used on Windows 10 machines, and everything works correctly, by there is no (or I cant find) this MS Azure VPN Client for Windows 7 (it is only available is Store for Win 10);

b) second is with generic configuration for other clients

In this second file are:

 

 

 

1) VpnServer: serve url -"azuregateway." + <some GUID> + ".vpn.azure.com"
2) VpnType: OpenVPN
3) CaCert: <Base64 String>
4) Routes: 3 IP addresses with mask X.X.X.X/Y
5) Auth: EAPTLS
6) VnetName: <Name>
7) VnetId: <GUID same like in point 1>
8) ServerCertRootCn: DigiCert Global Root CA
9) ServerCertIssuerCn: DigiCert Global Root CA
10) VpnClientAddressPool: IP addres with mask X.X.X.X/Y
11) AadIssuer: "https://sts.windows.net/" + <another GUID>
12) AadTenant: "https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + <GUID same like in point 11>
13) AadAudience: <third GUID>
14) CustomDnsServers: 2 IP addressed X.X.X.X

 

 

 

 

I have also login/password for my user and separate VpnServerRoot.cer file

 

- I tried OpenVPN Client - but I do not know how to configure it

- I tried build-in Windows 7 VPN client - but I'm not sure if this is possible using it. I do not know how to configure this EAPTLS authentication. When I fill VPN address and my user/password and click "Connect" I get message that there is: "user and password verification", and this hangs for hours.

- I tried find some other client - but no luck

 

Can anyone help me with this?

Maybe there is no way to do this from Win7?

Maybe I need something more?

Maybe it is very simple but I just don't know how to do it...

 

Thank you for any help.

 

Bast regards
