The one being used is /etc/ppp/pptpd-options, as configured using the
"option" parameter in /etc/pptpd.conf

the server parameter (second parameter on the line) in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
"NTPDC" must match the name option's value in /etc/ppp/pptpd-options.  In
your case, the pptpd-options file specifies "name dragon", so your
chap-secrets should be:

# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
NTDOMAIN\\testaccount   dragon    testaccountpasswordhere                *
