One gotcha I have come across with Apple's VPN server is that it used to be possible to use long/full names to login, with Lion/Mountain Lion server you can now only use the users shortname.
I have not tried this with AD, normally in an AD environment you would not be using Apple's VPN server but more likely a Cisco or Juniper device. However based on the usual AD behaviour maybe including the AD domain name with the username might be needed.
e.g. AD-DOMAINusername
