(SADB is an authentication tool my ISP uses to dial into the internet.
It is for extra security. Basically When I (with windoze) login to a
ppp-network connection I enter my user/pass then I get a chellange
number. I enter this number into my "SADB Calculator" along with a
seperate password. Then the SADB generates a "response" through some
kind of algorithm. I type this number to the authentication server, then
it starts PPP.)
I am having trouble connecting my linux box to the ISP.
I get it to dial out ok. But when the time comes for the authentication
to take place, this is where the trouble starts.
Basically when I log in I have to use a "SADB Calculator" to
authenticate myself.
I have my /etc/ppp/pppscript setup like this
TIMEOUT 10
ABORT ERROR
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
REPORT "CARRIER"
REPORT "CONNECT"
"" ATZ OK
"atdt18005786939"
TIMEOUT 75
CONNECT ""
ogin: $username
word: $mypassword
<-------This is where I get problems ---------->
At this point the server sends me a "challenge" number. I'm supposed to
run the sadb calculator against this number with a seperate SADB
calculator:
ex.
$ sadb <ENTER> (initiate sadb from command line)
Enter Challenge: #challangefromserver# <ENTER> (give the server
challenge to sadb)
Enter SADB password: #password# <ENTER> (give sadb my sadb password)
Response: #Response# \n (this respone needs to be given to the server
after my login/password/sadb
challenge)
If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
PS - Plz don't respond if your jsut going to recommend changing ISP's.
This connection is not for leisure, it is offered by my employer as a
way to telecommute. Some perl developing I do cannot be accomplished
with windoze.
thanks
