v
The PAP Only setting uses a two-way handshake procedure to validate the
identity of the originator of the connection. The weak privileged access
protection (PAP) authentication protocol is necessary if a plain text password
must be available to simulate a login at a remote host.
v
The CHAP Only setting uses a three-way handshake procedure to validate
the identity of the originator of a connection when a connection occurs at any
later time. The challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) is
stronger than the PAP protocol and protects against playback and
trial-and-error attacks.
v The CHAP then PAP setting tries to authenticate using CHAP first. If the
originator of the connection does not support CHAP, PAP is tried as a
secondary authentication protocol. The CHAP then PAP setting is the default.
