You should also specify which authentication protocol the demand interfaces
send to authenticate themselves to a peer when answering a call. From the
global configuration mode context, enter:

Disabling the Authentication Protocol. To disable the global setting for
the PPP authentication protocol that is used for demand routing interfaces,
enter:
ProCurve(config)# no data-call authentication protocol
ProCurve(config)# no data-call sent authentication protocol
Configuring PAP Authentication for a Demand Interface
If you want to use PAP, you must configure the username and password that
the ProCurve Secure Router sends when the far-end router requests authen-
tication information for a dial-up interface. From the demand interface con-
figuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: ppp pap sent-username <username> password <password>
Configuring CHAP Authentication for a Demand Interface
If you want to use CHAP, you must configure the password that the ProCurve
Secure Router sends when the far-end router requests authentication infor-
mation for a dial-up interface. From the demand interface configuration mode
context, enter:
Syntax: ppp chap password <password>
When you replace <password>, ensure that you are using the same settings
that are configured on the far-end router.
The username that is sent is the hostname of the router.
Configuring the Username and Password That the Router
Expects to Receive
You must also configure the username and password that the ProCurve Secure
Router expects to receive from the far-end router. From the demand interface
configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: username <username> password <password>
