I have a windows client trying to set up L2TP tunnel with my linux router.
The linux router talks with the RADIUS server. The authentication is
failing because the request is using MS-CHAP and my server cannot handle
MS-CHAP. I am not sure what is missing from the configuration on the
server. I have the cleartext password in the users file for the "temp" user
I am trying to authenticate. Following is the debug output -
