Cisc 871 PPTP to Windows Radius Server (Required encryption not negotiated)

Hi,

I am unable to get any level of encryption on a PPTP connection from Windows XP box connecting to a Cisco 871(with ADVSECURITYK9-M IOS) authenticating from a Windows 2000 Radius Server - I have the following config:

aaa new-model

!

!

aaa authentication ppp default group radius local

aaa authorization network default if-authenticated

aaa session-id common

vpdn enable

!

vpdn-group 1

! Default PPTP VPDN group

accept-dialin

protocol pptp

virtual-template 1

interface Virtual-Template1

ip unnumbered Vlan1

ip mroute-cache

peer default ip address pool DIAL-IN

ppp encrypt mppe auto required

ppp authentication ms-chap ms-chap-v2

I have tried all variations on the "ppp encrypt mppe" line (40/128 and with/without the "required"), but if I set the WinXP client to require encryption, I always get:

Oct 10 11:22:34.210 GMT+10: Vi3 IPCP: State is Open

Oct 10 11:22:34.210 GMT+10: Vi3 CCP: I TERMACK [TERMsent] id 3 len 4

Oct 10 11:22:34.210 GMT+10: Vi3 CCP: State is Closed

Oct 10 11:22:34.214 GMT+10: Vi3 MPPE: Required encryption not negotiated

Oct 10 11:22:34.214 GMT+10: Vi3 PPP: Sending Acct Event[Down] id[54]

Oct 10 11:22:34.214 GMT+10: Vi3 IPCP: State is Closed

Oct 10 11:22:34.214 GMT+10: Vi3 PPP: Phase is TERMINATING

and WinXP reports:

Error 742: The remote computer does not support the required data encryption type

NB: A Pix 515, auth'ing from the same Radius server is able to achieve 128bit encrpytion.

Any suggestions aer greatly appreciated.

Sometimes if you upgrade the IOS you might get this error.Try downgrading the IOS.Refer tje following URL for more info

Thanks for the reponse - but the problem was with the following line:

aaa authorization network default if-authenticated

Needed to be:

aaa authorization network default group radius

And 128bit PPTP connections worked immediately.

Fairly certain older IOS versions accepted the first version....I was running C870-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.3(8)YI2
