Authentication for Incoming Connections

Authentication credentials for incoming users are configured using the
parameter set pppclients. The parameter set contains the user name and
password combinations to be supplied to the QML logger when users
connect to it. To configure incoming authentication, proceed as follows:

1.

On the Setup menu, select Parameter Sets.

2.

Select Current parameter set owners from the Category menu.

3.

Select pppclients as the parameter to configure and click Add to
add a new parameter.

4.

Enter the user ID and password to be used for the incoming
connection in the Parameter field. The format to use is
<user ID:password>, for example, user1:password. See

5.

If required, enter a description for the parameter in the Description
field.

6.

In the Type field, select Text as the parameter type.

7.

Enter the user’s password in the Value field.

8.

Close the Parameter Sets view by clicking Close.

The users connecting to the QML logger can use the credentials
configured in the pppclients parameters: their user ID is the first part of
the parameter name, and their password is the value of the
username:password parameter. You can also add more user–password
combinations in the same manner.
