otherwise there might be a warning message. Click “Connect” to manually make a connection or
click “Disconnect” to disconnect the connection.
•
Auth Type: You may choose PAP or CHAP authentication to enhance the security of data transmission.
•
PAP –Short for Password Authentication Protocol, the most basic form of authentication, in
which a user's name and password are transmitted over a network and compared to a table of
name-password pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The Basic
Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses PAP. The main weakness of PAP is that
both the username and password are transmitted "in the clear" -- that is, in an unencrypted form.
•
CHAP –Short for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, a type of authentication in
which the authentication agent (typically a network server) sends the client program a random
value that is used only once and an ID value. Both the sender and peer share a predefined secret.
