Subject: MPPE and MS-CHAP

Hi,

According to RFC 2433, MS PPP CHAP extensions, the use of the LAN
management password should not be used in MS-CHAP and with MS-CHAP-v2, the
LAN management password is not included at all.

Does this mean that MPPE with a 40-bit key, which uses the LAN management
password to initialise, is also redundant?

Is it possible to use the NT password for the initialisation of the 40-bit
key if the LAN management password is not present?

Any help on sorting out this problem would be greatly received.

Cheers,

Ian.
