Windows 7 - Chap V1 for VPN Connectivity
Asked By Skillmake
20-Apr-07 11:36 AM
I understand that MS decided to deprecate Chap V1 on the VPN connectivity
options, and instead provide only Chap V2. So, instead of having two decent
encryption options available for VPN, MS decided to leave two non-encrypted
options, and delete a useful and supported Chap V1 encrypted option.
This severely impacts ANYONE that utilizes Cisco PIX firewalls (we use
several Pix 501 and 506 firewalls), since they are not capable of supporting
Chap V2.
This leaves us with the less than desireable options of using an unencrypted
PAP connection, not connecting at all, or REPLACING all of our PIX firewalls.
FOR GOODNESS SAKES, PLEASE MAKE CHAP V1 AVAILABLE AGAIN IN THE VPN
CONNECTION. WHY WOULD MS MAKE THE DECISION TO REMOVE A FUNCTIONAL ENCRYPTION
STANDARD AND REPLACE IT WITH ONE THAT IS NOT FULLY SUPPORTED?

Yes, I have seen this. Again, the PIX firewalls do NOT support CHAP, they DO
support MS Chap V1. There are literally 10s of thousands of Cisco PIX
firewalls out there.
I can understand removing features that are no useful, but I cannot
understand removing features that WORK and are SUPPORTED in the industry.
What would be so difficult about putting MS Chap V1 back into the VPN
interface? The 'work arounds' suggested by Microsoft are garbage.
Gre replied...
Please, this is awful. I have to carry around two laptops - one with XP and
my new one just so we can continue to work on our clients that use Chap V1.
Come on. Get with the program MSFT! Also, how about getting copy / paste /
delete over shared networks working? Perhaps consider not limiting network
bandwidth when streaming?
Embarrassing effort. Would love to send you an invoice for the time and
money wasted on this product.

OS: Windows XP is MUCH better than Windows Vista Windows 7 and here are just a few of be very true: 1) Incompatibility (Driver / Software handshaking issues) Nearly everything ran super smooth in XP from day one It was a root canal getting even some of the simplest software an I-net site. It's a horrible experience just looking your screen. 3) Instability XP crashed on me once in over five years. Vista crashed the first day! The list on and on. I haven't the time to waste commenting on Gates shotty work. MS is infamous for peddling half-baked software. XP was the exception. It is wonderful. MS hit a wall with Vista, a solid cement wall. Gates should have stuck with XP and simply added features, but the temptation for profit once again won out (Gates can make much more money with a new OS than simply improving past software). Keep your XP until an actual upgrade becomes available. If you've already took the plunge, return it
Why do you still use Windows XP? Windows 7 Give your reasons. Do you plan to upgrade ever? If so, when and why? If you use both XP and 7, do you ever plan on ditching XP for good? What will you do when support is dropped to the point where this new hardware? Personally I am waiting for Windows 8 to release a second service pack. XP sucked when it first came out until SP1. Even then, I find the moron-babysitting not work, it had to enabled then disabled to be disabled for real. Sigh. . .
