Hi Danny, Let me correct just some things... can you confirm ?
After a lot of help from Thibault I was able to connect from xp client.
the causes for the problem was :
1. missing raddattr plug-in to option.pptpd raddattr.so # after radius.so
2. un update dictionary (Microsoft & merit) both in /etc/raddb & /etc/radiusclient
I think you don't have to update your FreeRADIUS dictionary at all: _you_ had to because you did some tests and willingly modified them, but I'm quite sure the one provided by the FreeRADIUS project are good enough for this purpose ;-)
3. include dictionary syntax ? should be :
$INCLUDE /etc/raddb/dictionary.microsoft
$INCLUDE /etc/raddb/dictionary.merit
This is the standard syntax for FreeRADIUS, but INCLUDE syntax for radiusclient /etc/radiusclient/dictionary file was (as you wrote me in a private email): INCLUDE /etc/radiusclient/dictionary.microsoft INCLUDE /etc/radiusclient/dictionary.merit
4. need to config the following options in option.pptpd refuse-pap refuse-chap refuse-mschap require-mppe +mschap +mschap-v2
Thanks Danny, for your summary to the list. For everyone else: I've begun a small tutorial on Poptop integration with FreeRADIUS: http://wiki.freeradius.org/PopTop It is currently linked to the http://wiki.freeradius.org/Example_Setups page. Feel free to update it and/or move it to a more appropriate page on the Wiki (maybe in howto) ? Regards, Thibault
