EAP-TLS patch for pppd

Documentation

Resources

A detailed tutorial (in Italian) on how to set up a ppp connection with EAP-TLS between a Linux box and a Windows one using a null-modem cable is still available on the original EAP-TLS site.
The README.eap-tls file included in sources.

Quick start

First download ppp sources from the ppp website and then grab the EAP-TLS patch from the download page.
Unpack the tarball and then apply the patch.

  $ tar -xzf ppp-2.4.5.tar.gz
  $ cd ppp-2.4.5
  $ patch -p1 < ../ppp-2.4.5-eaptls-mppe-0.99.patch
  patching file README.eap-tls
  patching file etc.ppp/eaptls-client
  patching file etc.ppp/eaptls-server
  patching file linux/Makefile.top
  patching file pppd/Makefile.linux
  patching file pppd/auth.c
  patching file pppd/ccp.c
  patching file pppd/chap-md5.c
  patching file pppd/eap-tls.c
  patching file pppd/eap-tls.h
  patching file pppd/eap.c
  patching file pppd/eap.h
  patching file pppd/main.c
  patching file pppd/md5.c
  patching file pppd/md5.h
  patching file pppd/options.c
  patching file pppd/pathnames.h
  patching file pppd/pppd.h
  $

Before continuing, read the README.eap-tls file for detailed information about building and configuring.
Then compile the program and install it.

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ make install
  $ make install-etcppp

Finally, modify EAP-TLS configuration files (/etc/ppp/eaptls-server and /etc/ppp/eaptls-client) to suit your needs.

Share and enjoy....
