create account pppuser
create account pppuser <username> {encrypted} {<password>}
Description
Creates a local database entry that can be used to authenticate a PPP peer.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Authentication responses include a username. When a response is received, the database is searched for
an entry with the specified username. The associated password is then used to validate the
authentication response. This is a new application of the existing
create account
command. The
pppuser
keyword is new. The
username
parameter is a string with a length in the range [1-32]
characters. The
password
parameter is also a character string, with a maximum length of 32 characters.
If no password is provided on the command line, then you are prompted to enter the password twice
(with the second time serving as a confirmation). You should not enter the
encrypted
parameter option
(it is used by the switch when generating an ASCII configuration).
Example
The following command example sets the authentication database name to
stretch
and sets the
password to
baserunner
for the BlackDiamond switch:
create account pppuser stretch baserunner
