Hi all
I'd like to write a plugin that will authenticate using the same system for
both pap and 'login:' prompt logins.
How I think to do this:
In plugin_init() in the plugin it prints "login: ". It then checks the input
to see if it's PPP. If it's ppp, plugin_init() just returns and the user is
authenticated via pap_auth_hook() later. If it's not ppp the text is read as
the username and it prints "password: " and reads the password. It then
authenticates the user.
What I'm not sure about:
What option can I set in the plugin that'll make pppd request PAP
authentication (when the client didn't send a username after "login: ") and
make pppd not request authentication (when the user was validated using
the "login: " prompt).
The plugin I write can be included in the pppd distribution if anyone wants
to include it.
Thanks
