This procedure shows how to set up CHAP credentials for two trusted callers. The steps in the procedure assume that you, the system administrator, are creating the CHAP credentials on the trusted callers' dial-out machines.
For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
Using the sample CHAP configuration in Example of a Configuration Using CHAP Authentication, assume that the dial-out machine belongs to trusted caller account1.
This release includes an /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file that has helpful comments but no options. You can add the following options to the existing /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file.
account1 CallServe key123 *
CallServe is the name for the peer that account1 is trying to reach. key123 is the CHAP secret to be used for links between account1 and CallServer.
For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
Assume that this machine belongs to caller account2.
account2 CallServe key456 *
Now, account2 has secret key456 as its CHAP credentials for use over links to peer CallServe.
