How to Add CHAP Support to the PPP Configuration Files on a Dial-In Server

1. Log in to the dial-in server as superuser.
2. 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.

3. 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.
