      Running 2.0-BETA5 (i386) built on Mon Dec 27 09:05:00 EST 2010

      Setting up PPPoE service -
      Created an account under "user manager" named "test"
      created a group called pppoe
      assigned group "User - VPN - PPPOE Dialin " privileges
      assigned test user to group pppoe

      tried to log in, failed.

      found the following in the pppoe Raw server logs

      
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] PAP: rec'd REQUEST #1
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] AUTH: Auth-Thread started
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] AUTH: Trying INTERNAL
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: OpenConfFile: Can't open file '/var/etc/pppoe1-vpn/mpd.secret': No such file or directory
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: AUTH: User "test" not found in secret file
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] AUTH: INTERNAL returned failed
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] AUTH: ran out of backends
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] AUTH: Auth-Thread finished normally
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: [poes11] PAP: PapInputFinish: status failed
      Dec 27 21:25:36 	poes: Reply message: Login incorrect
      
      

      I created the /var/etc/pppoe1-vpn/mpd.secret file and inserted the "test" users credentials, pppoe login succeeded.

      Shouldn't pppoe be authenticating against the user manager accounts rather than the mpd.secret file?

        The integration is not complete for that, and it probably won't be until 2.1.

        On the PPPoE server instance there is a place at the bottom of the screen to add users. Add users there and it should work.

          Somehow I missed that.  Thanks for pointing that out.
