CHAP authentication using RADIUS

If the NETServer wishes to use RADIUS to authenticate the remote device, the user name and the password of the remote device can be stored in the users file on the RADIUS server.

The user name for the remote device must be the user ID that it will send during CHAP authentication.

The password must be in clear text in order for the MD5 com- parison to succeed. Remember, the password during CHAP authentication is known as a shared secret. The remote device uses the same password. If the NETServer does not have a user table entry for the remote device, there must be an entry for the remote device in the RADIUS users file.
