Chapter 8 Security

Table 53 PPTP Server (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Auth Protocol

Select the Authentication Protocol allowed for the connection. Options are:

 

• PAP - Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication occurs in clear

 

text and does not use encryption. It’s probably not a good idea to rely on this

 

for security.

 

• CHAP - Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) provides

 

authentication through a shared secret key and uses a three way handshake.

 

• MSCHAPv1 - Microsoft CHAP v1 (MSCHAPv1) provides authentication

 

through a shared secret key and uses a three way handshake. It provides

 

improved usability with Microsoft products.

 

• MSCHAPv2 - Microsoft CHAP v2 (MSCHAPv2) provides encryption through a

 

shared secret key and uses a three way handshake. It provides additional

 

security over MSCHAPv1, including two-way authentication.

 

 

MPPE

If MSCHAPv1 or MSCHAPv2 is selected as an Auth Protocol, use the drop-

Encryption

down list box to select the type of Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE).

 

Options are:

 

• MPPE 40 bits - MPPE with 40 bit session key length

 

• MPPE 128 bits - MPPE with 128 bit session key length

 

• Auto - Automatically select either MPPE 40 bits or MPPE 128 bits
