Dear John Horne,

Can you send FreeRADIUS logs for the session which was started with MPPE
but without MS-MPPE-Encryption-Policy/MS-MPPE-Encryption-Types?

JH>                   authtype = MS-CHAP
JH>                   use_mppe = yes
JH>                   require_encryption = yes
JH>                   require_strong = yes
JH>           }

JH>   DEFAULT         Auth-Type := Local
JH>                   MS-MPPE-Encryption-Policy = 0x00000002,
JH>                   MS-MPPE-Encryption-Types = 0x00000004

JH> Restart radius and it works - even for the actual entries in the users file

JH> radius replies? Should I have to enter them at all considering the mschap
JH> module states to use strong encryption?


JH> Thanks,

JH> John.
