[pptp-server] Microsoft Client + key + encryption

[Jamin Collins]

I'm not sure on the key portion, but there are patches to allow for 40 and
128 bit encryption on the PPTP connection.  I'm using these patches with
little to no difficulty of my PoPToP server.  As for a Key-based VPN, there
are a few different options, but most of these rely on SSH wrapping which
could be done around the PPTP tunnel if you so desire.

Hello,

      I wonder if it is possible to set up a PoPToP server with
      windows client using keys for authentification.
      It went flowly to make a win2k box connect to PoPToP server but
      the authentification is made with user/password and there is no
      encryption.
      I want the clients to connect with key authentification. I've seen
      that we can authenticate through certificates with win2k but
      PoPToP does not seem to support it, does it ?
      If it does, do I still have to use encryption the windows way
      (by patching pppd) ?
      If it doesn't, do you have any idea of how I could implement
      a key authentificated VPN on a Linux FireWall.
