Setting Microsoft RADIUS Parameters for a User

Microsoft RADIUS provides VSAs supporting Microsoft Point-to-Point
Encryption (MPPE), which is an encryption technology developed by Microsoft
to encrypt point-to-point (PPP) links. These PPP connections can be via a dial-in
line, or over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel.

To control Microsoft MPPE settings for users accessing the network through a
Cisco VPN 3000-series concentrator, use the CVPN3000-PPTP-Encryption (VSA
20) and CVPN3000-L2TP-Encryption (VSA 21) attributes. Settings for
CVPN3000-PPTP-Encryption (VSA 20) and CVPN3000-L2TP-Encryption (VSA
21) override Microsoft MPPE RADIUS settings. If either of these attributes is
enabled, Cisco Secure ACS determines the values to be sent in outbound RADIUS
(Microsoft) attributes and sends them along with the RADIUS (Cisco VPN 3000)
attributes, regardless of whether RADIUS (Microsoft) attributes are enabled in
the Cisco Secure ACS HTML interface or how those attributes might be
configured.
