Description Nick Currier 2010-12-23 15:59:21 UTC
pptpd does not find MPPE despite it being compiled in kernel.  Connection to VPN fails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set client to connect via pptp using encryption
2.  Attempt to connect
3.  Server fails and disconnects

Actual Results:  
Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so loaded.
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
LCP terminated by peer (MPPE required but not available)
Modem hangup
Connection terminated.


Expected Results:  
Client connects as usual... 

Current configuration works if client is set to use no encryption.

That is a configuration issue, not a bug. You are missing require-mppe-128 in your options.pptpd file, and possibly other things like authentication are wrong.

Please reopen if the issue persists after you have made sure that your configuration is correct.
