Cant connect: Couldn't find any suitable secret

[Freddl]

Hello,
when iam trying to establish a SSTP Connection, following Error Message appears.I dont know what kind of secret he wants. (i tried to recreate the windows client parameters, use mschap-v2, the certificate (which is a converted one from crt to pem) and so on.On windows the client connects without any problems)
Maybe you can give me a hint. Thank you!

Could you try appending "noauth" to the end of your command line? Also, if that doesn't work, how about you append "logfile ./debug.txt" and post the ppp negotiation to the thread as well?

Hi Eivind, here is a log file generated when I am trying to connect sstp-client from my MAC with a windows server, thanks to other threads of yours. Any ideas on this error?

[Eivind]

Your command line is wrong,

" --log-level 4 --log-stderr" needs to come before the xxxx.xxx.xxx. Anything else is passed to the pppd process as configuration options. Try this instead:

sudo sstpc --log-stderr --log-level 5 --cert-warn --user xxxx --password xxxx xxx.xxx.org usepeerdns require-mschap-v2 noauth noipdefault defaultroute refuse-eap noccp debug

Then email me the logs please.
