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.
