How to Add CHAP Support to the PPP Configuration Files on a Dial-In Server
Note - PPP was removed in the Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 24 release.
- Log in to the dial-in server
as superuser.
- Modify the /etc/ppp/options file.
Add the options that are shown in bold
for CHAP support.
# cat /etc/ppp/options
lock
nodefaultroute
name CallServe
auth
Where:
- name CallServe
Defines CallServe as the CHAP name of the user on the local
system, in this instance the dial-in server.
- auth
Makes the local system authenticate callers before establishing the link.
- Create the remaining PPP
configuration files to support the trusted callers.
See How to Configure Users of the Dial-In Server and How to Define Communications Over the Serial Line on a Dial-In Server.
