CHAP
: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication
provides secure encrypted authentication. CHAP periodically verifies the identity of
the peer using a 3-way handshake. This is done upon initial link establishment and
may be repeated anytime after the link has been established. (See
for
details.) CHAP authentication will work between two Digi ConnectPort X devices.
Note
MS-CHAP (Microsoft specific implementation of CHAP) is not supported.
l
PAP
: Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication is required. PAP
provides a simple method for the peer to establish its identity using a 2-way
handshake. This is done only upon link establishment. (See RFC 1334 for further
details.)
