Patch to create GUI option to turn on/off mppe-stateful (5.48 KB, patch)
2006-11-30 18:57 UTC, Nathaniel McCallum 		none Details | Review

Description Nathaniel McCallum 2006-11-30 18:37:04 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Some PPTP connections require the 'mppe-stateless' flag to be passed.  There is currently no way to pass that option.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to connect to a PPTP server that requires stateless mppe
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
Authentication failure

Expected results:
Authentication success

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Patch to force stateful mppe on

This patch will for mppe-stateful on for all mppe connections.  I'm not sure if this will break stateless setups or not.  If so, see next patch.

Patch to create GUI option to turn on/off mppe-stateful

If forcing stateful mppe on isn't appropriate, this patch creates a GUI option to enable/disable it.

SVN trunk pptp now has an option to use stateless mppe.  Thanks!
