Re: Prevent security bypass

Hi;

MS-CHAP is vulnerable to a modified replay attack with regard to domain login (why Microsoft went to Kerberos in Windows 2000). However I do not think that this sort of attack could work on a public web server.  Unfortunately Mac and Linux clients won't be able to log into a public server is you select this option.

For a public web server I recommend basic (plain text) authentication and providing security by using SSL.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
