EAP-MSCHAPv2 support

[Eivind Naess]

There is a patch available via this link.
https://w3logistics.com/blog/archives/438-EAP-MSCHAPv2-for-pppd-2-4-7.html

Adding support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 to this would be very helpful for sstp-client project to connect to an Azure instance.

Applied the original patch from https://w3logistics.com/blog/archives/438-EAP-MSCHAPv2-for-pppd-2-4-7.html to the ubuntu source package.

pppd version 2.4.9 has the eap-mschap-v2 patch already applied.

[Strato Lion (stratolion)]

Top version installable on Ubuntu repository via apt-get is 2.4.7. I uninstalled, then downloaded the .deb for 2.4.9 version and installed it and it crashed my network-manager, had to reinstall it and go back to 2.4.7. Any way around this? I need to get EAP working on Ubuntu 20.

Thanks a lot! :-)

[Eivind Naess (eivnaes)]

@stratolion you mean, you upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish) and it is no longer working for you? This bug was filed against 2.4.7. I don't think you can just download and install that .deb as many other packages (including network-manager) depends on it. Your other packages expects to find it's plugins in /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.7 and not /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.9. Did you upgrade to 21.10 and it still crashes on you, then file a new bug.

[Strato Lion (stratolion)]

I'm sorry @eivnaes I didn't know this pppd 2.4.9 only works on Impish. I'm on 20.04. I'm upgrading right now and I'll give it a try. Thanks.

[Strato Lion (stratolion)]

Upgraded to Impish and now sstp-client doesn't work anymore because ppp 2.4.7 is not present. Any work around?

[Eivind Naess (eivnaes)]

It maybe your lucky day. I am the author of sstp-client and I just kicked off another build of sstp-client for Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish). Should be available via the repository in a few minutes less something unexpected happens.

[Strato Lion (stratolion)]

The only thing I can say right now is that I love you.
