NAME

6       l2tp-secrets - L2TPD secrets file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The l2tp-secrets file contains challenge-response authentication infor‐
10       mation for xl2tpd, the implementation of l2tp protocol.  The format  of
11       the  file  is derived from the pap and chap secrets file format used in
12       pppd.
13
14       The secrets file is composed of zero or more lines with 3 fields  each.
15       Each  line represents an authentication secret.  The 3 fields represent
16       our hostname, the remote hostname and the secret used in the  authenti‐
17       cation process.
18
19       The first field is for our hostname, a "*" may be used as a wildcard.
20
21       The second field is for the remote system's hostname.  Again, a "*" may
22       be used as a wildcard.
23
24       The third field is the secret used if the previous two fields match the
25       hostnames  of  the systems involved.  The secret should, ideally, be at
26       16 characters long (the length of an MD5  digest  output),  and  should
27       probably  be longer to ensure sufficient security.  There is no minimum
28       length requirement, however.
