Authentication Configuration - Digi LTS 32 User Manual

 Authentication configuration
- User Name: Specifies the username for this connection. The username, along with the
password, are specified by the user when connecting to the device. This username must be
unique to the device so that no other incoming PPP connection, outgoing PPP connection,
or system user uses it.
- Password/Confirm Password: Specifies the password for this connection. This is the
password that the user specifies when connecting and logging into the device.
- Authentication: Specifies the type of authentication required by this PPP connection. The
user must supply the same type of authentication for their dial-up connection as specified
here in order to successfully connect.
NONE: No authentication is required.
CHAP: CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) provides secure encrypted
authentication. CHAP is used to periodically verify the identity of the peer using a 3-way
handshake. This is done upon initial link establishment and may be repeated anytime after
the link has been established. (See RFC 1334 for further details.) CHAP authentication will
work between two ConnectPort LTS products. Note: MS-CHAP (Microsoft specific
implementation of CHAP) is not supported.
PAP: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is used by many ISPs and corporate PPP
servers. PAP provides a simple method for the peer to establish its identity using a 2-way
handshake. This is done only upon link establishment. (See RFC 1334 for further details.)
BOTH: CHAP authentication will work between two ConnectPort LTS products. CHAP
will be negotiated to PAP for all other connections.
