Description
receive_authentication
The authentication protocol OfficeConnect Gateway uses to
authenticate its PPP peer (the peer can employ a protocol of its
choice). This value works in conjunction with
authentication_preference
.
If the
Any
or
Encrypted_any
value is selected, the authentication
protocol tried first from the group can be selected by specifying the
authentication_preference
parameter. Note the following choices:
If
receive_authentication
is set to
any
, then
authentication_preference
can be set to
CHAP, MS_chap, EAP,
proxy_eap, PAP
or
default
(CHAP).
If receive_authentication is set to
any
, then
authentication_preference
can be set to
CHAP, MS_chap, EAP,
proxy_eap,
or
default
(CHAP).
If
receive_authentication
is set to
any other value
, then the
authentication_preference
setting is ignored.
