| Description | This object is used to specify whether to use Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP) authentication method and
the order it is used.
This object is one of multiple objects used to specify
authentication methods. The other authentication method
objects are cdslVTPppAuthChap and cdslVTPppAuthMSChap.
A non-zero value for any of these authentication method
objects indicates that its associated authentication
method is to be employed. The value of these objects
indicates the order in which their respective methods
should be applied to the process of authenticating users.
The lowest non-zero valued authentication method object
is used first. If it fails, the second lowest is
applied. If all methods fail, the user is rejected.
If multiple objects are set to the same value, then
the order of the corresponding methods will be
adjusted in the order of CHAP, MSCHAP and PAP.
Each time one of these auth method value is set, all the
auth method object values will be re-assigned to reflect
the order change and the values will be in an incremental
order started from one.
So the return value(s) of a snmpget request for these
objects may be different from what they are set.
However the order is preserved. |
