# Create a Microsoft L2TP VPN entry

You can create a Microsoft L2TP VPN entry in Remote Desktop Manager.

1. First you will need to create a new ***VPN Microsoft*** entry with the basic information and settings.
2. In the ***General - Connection*** section, use the drop down menu next to the ***VPN type***, and select ***L2TP*** instead of ***Automatic***.
3. Enter your ***Pre-shared key*** provided from Microsoft.
4. Fill in the information for the ***Username***, ***Domain***, and ***Password***.
5. Optional: The ***Auth method*** can be different for each user (it is by default set to ***PAP***), depending on your Microsoft VPN configuration. Use the drop down menu to change it.

   | Option     | Description                                 |
   | ---------- | ------------------------------------------- |
   | PAP        | Unencrypted password                        |
   | CHAP       | Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol |
   | MS-CHAP v2 | Microsoft CHAP Version 2                    |
   | EAP        | Extensible Authentication Protocol          |
6. Click ***OK*** to save.
