| I can't provide detailed advice on how to set up the NT side. You'll have
to find another notes conference for that. I do remember one small
detail though which is that you must specifically enable CHAP authentication
on the NT side. By default NT uses Microsoft's proprietary authentication
protocol, which very few other vendors bother to support.
For the UNIX side, have you read the section in the network admin guide
on setting up PPP? While that is UNIX-centric it will provide some clues on
how to proceed.
Basically you will probably want to have NT supply the IP addresses. If
the PPP link will be the only network connection then you want to use
the "defaultroute" argument either in /etc/ppp/options or on the pppd
command line.
Assuming for the moment you have the following things in place, you
could do something like this:
assumptions:
o NT will supply IP addresses
o the PPP link will be the only network interface on the UNIX box
o NT is configured as a router
o The name of the UNIX box is "foo"
o the name of the NT box is "bar"
o The two machines are connected via serial ports through a null-modem
cable; they will both run at 38400 baud
o NT is configured to use CHAP for authentication
o The password (secret) on the NT machine for authenticating the UNIX
machine is "fnord"
o The NT machine will hand out class C addresses
/etc/ppp/options should contain:
defaultroute
asyncmap 0
name foo
remotename bar
+chap
netmask 255.255.255.0
noipdefault
+crtscts
local
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets should contain:
bar foo fnord
foo bar fnord
The line to invoke pppd would look like:
% pppd tty00 38400 debug

| 9393.2 | CHAP authentication | COL01::HOLZGREVE | | Sat Apr 05 1997 05:41 | 21 |
| Farrell,
thanks a lot for this detailed information. I have the NT server and
the pppd on the unix site running. My problem is the authentication
with CHAP. Maybe this is not anabled on the NT server site, but I have
no system management access to the NT system.
If I dial manually the NT server modem number from the unix site with
tip, the only message I will get is the CONNECT message from the modem.
No username, password ... .
So my chapt script will fail:
"" ATDT6161616161
CONNECT ""
name: test
word: test
main: test
Any idea ?!

| NT will not provide any prompts for a chat script to follow. You don't
"log in" to an NT RAS server per-se.
You *may* (and my memory is fuzzy on this) have to put one additional
small thing in the chat script. After the modem says "CONNECT", the chat
script may have to respond with the word "CLIENT". The RAS server will
respond in kind with the word SERVER before starting the PPP link:
"CONNECT" "CLIENT\r"
"SERVER" ""
Don't ask why: it's Microsoft...
CHAP, or Microsoft's proprietary (read: incompatible with anything else in
the world except Microsoft) authentication mechanism is the means by which
you're authenticated.
