RE: (PM) PPP Authentication

Hello
Why do you need to do MS-CHAP.
If you force the client to use encrypted password, it will CHAP with the PMs
You then need a RADIUS which supports CHAP. I have seen this working with
PMs.
The PM has to support the auth type (PAP,CHAP) before it can pass the info
to RADIUS
The other option is to use L2TP to an NT RAS server. If you do that, you are
at the mercy of NT.
You need to setup Call-check L2TP tunnels so that the NT RAS server does LCP
etc.
Cheers
James
