For Test, select one of the following:
•
Password authentication: Select this to use the password for authentication.
•
CHAP: Select this to use the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. After initial verification, CHAP periodically verifies the identity of the client by using a three-way handshake.
•
MSCHAP: Select this to use the Microsoft implementation of CHAP. MSCHAP works for all Windows versions before Windows Vista.
•
MSCHAPv2: Select this to use the Microsoft version 2 implementation of CHAP. MSCHAPv2 works for Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows.
