PPP and CHAP Support
RADIUS requires PPP/CHAP enforcement to be in the RADIUS server.:
The...
Remote Annex sends the ACP server
an ACP Authorization-Request
message containing the CHAP
information,
RADIUS server validates the
information and returns either an
Access-Accept or Access-Reject
message,
If the RADIUS on/off toggle switch in the Server Tools Options/
Security dialog box is set to off, the ACP server validates against the
chap_secret entry in the acp_userinfo file.

Then...
the ACP server determines if
RADIUS is to be used (set in
Server Tools Options dialog box)
and sends a request to the RADIUS
server containing the CHAP
information needed for validation.
the ACP server responds to the
Remote Annex with
REQ_GRANTED or
REQ_DENIED for authorization.
