[Sstp-client-devel] Using sstp-client on OpenSuse 12.1

[Chaitanya K. <ic...@gm...>]

Hello there,

I have been trying to use sstp-client to connect to a server which needs me
to connect using sstp. I tried to follow the instructions in the READE and
in USING but without success.

If I succeed in using sstp-client to connect to my server, I can write a
small tutorial on using sstp-client.

This is essentially what I need to do.
server_to_connect_to: northgate.tyndall.ie
user_name: ck.ande
password: pass123

This is what I have done on my system.

1. configure && make && make install && sudo ldconfig

2. sudo cat /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        server          secret          IP addresses

# OUTBOUND CONNECTIONS
# Here you should add your PPP Login and PPP password to connect to your
# provider via pap. The * means that the entry(login and passoword may be
# used for ANY host you connect to.
# Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
#hostname       *       password
northgate.tyndall.ie\\ck.ande tyndall pass123

# PREDIFINED CONNECTIONS
# These are user and password entries for publically accessible call-by-call
# Internet providers in Germany. If they confict with your config, remove
them.
# READ_IN_CALLBYCALL_SECRETS

# INBOUND CONNECTIONS
#client         hostname        <password>      192.168.1.1

3. sudo cat /etc/ppp/peers/tyndall

remotename      tyndall                 # Used in ip up/down scripts
linkname        tyndall                 # Used in ip up/down scripts
ipparam         tyndall                 # Used in ip up/down scripts
name            northgate.tyndall.ie\\chaitanya.ande  # Specifies the
DOMAIN and USER
plugin          sstp-pppd-plugin.so     # REQUIRED (SSTP)
sstp-sock       /tmp/sstp-uds-sock      # REQUIRED (SSTP)
usepeerdns                              # Use the peer dns addresses
require-mppe                            # REQUIRED (MPPE)
noauth                                  # We don't need the server to auth
itself
require-mschap-v2                       # MSCHAPv2 Authentication Support
refuse-eap                              # Not yet supported
refuse-chap                             # Don't accept CHAP-MD5
refuse-mschap                           # Don't accept MSCHAP
lock                                    # Lock the port
# nsbsdcomp                               # Turn off compression protocols
nodeflate                               # Turn off compression protocols

4. sudo /usr/sbin/pppd call tyndall pty "/usr/local/sbin/sstpc server
--nolaunchpppd"
Plugin sstp-pppd-plugin.so loaded.
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system (tyndall) is required to authenticate
itself
/usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it
to use to do so.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Also, a couple of things are not clear to me. What is the difference
between <provider> <DOMAIN> and <server>?

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Best regards,
Chai

Just a small correction.

The line step 3. above should have read

name            northgate.tyndall.ie\\ck.ande  # Specifies the DOMAIN and
USER

instead of

name            northgate.tyndall.ie\\chaitanya.ande  # Specifies the
DOMAIN and USER

Best,
