A security protocol that requires users to enter a password before accessing a secure system. The user's ame and password are sent over the wire to a server where they are compared with a database of user account names and passwords.
Password Authentication Protocol. A simple password protocol that transmits a user name and password across the network, unencrypted.
See Password Authentication Protocol (PAP).
Password Authentication Protocol. One of two authentication protocols (PAP and CHAP) used by OpenROUTE Networks routers. PAP requires a password from a connecting router before the local router can receive data from that router. If the password is accepted, communication between the the local router and the connecting router continues; if the password is not accepted, the communication line is closed.
Password Authentication Protocol. One of the many authentication methods that can be used when connecting to an ISP. PAP allows you to login automatically, without having to use a terminal window to type in your username and password. One warning about PAP: passwords are sent over the connection in text format, which means there is no protection if someone is "listening-in" on your connection.
Password Authentication Protocol. An authentication protocol that allows a client to log on to an ISP using username and password. Username and password are sent from a client (subscriber) computer to the ISP's network access server (NAS) and forwarded by the NAS to an authentication server without encryption. PAP is still used with PPP even though there is a more secure authentication protocol, i.e. CHAP. Also see PPP and CHAP.
Password Authentication Protocol. A security protocol that uses password protection to allow access to a network or host.
See see Password Authentication Protocol..
Password Authentication Protocol. a simple LCP authentication protocol that sends an identifying name and an associated password. PAP runs after LCP negotitation is complete but before any NCPs are started.
Password Authentication Protocol. The most basic access control protocol for logging onto a network. A table of usernames and passwords is stored on a server. When users log on, their usernames and passwords are sent to the server for verification. Contrast with CHAP, which encrypts the username and password before transmitting it.
A security protocol that uses password authentication to allow access to a network or host. In the PAP authentication procedure, an ID/password pair is repeatedly sent by the client to the host until verification is received. Unlike Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAD), PAP does not use encryption. See CHAD.
Password Authentication Protocol - A security authentication protocol used with PPP. The password is sent to the client as clear text for comparison. CHAP is a more secure protocol.
Password Authentication Protocol. PAP is the most basic form of authentication for logging into a network. A user's name and password are transmitted over a network and compared to a table of name-password pairs.Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. Also see CHAP.
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) is a way to automatically pass your UBITName and password to the University's remote access server. It is only available for 56k modems or ISDN connections.
(Password Authentication Protocol) – Authentication protocol that allows PPP peers to authenticate one another. The remote router attempting to connect to the local router is required to send an authentication request. PAP does not itself prevent unauthorised access, but merely identifies the remote end. The router or access server then determines if that user is allowed access. PAP is only supported on PPP connections. See Also: PPP, CHAP, Router To top

Password Authentication Protocol -- a simple authentication protocol for PPP; defined in RFC 1334.
(Password Authentication Protocol). PAP is the authentication protocol used over PPP connections.
Password Authentication Protocol is a simple PPP authentication mechanism in which a cleartext username and password are transmitted to prove identity.
The Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a method of sending unencrypted clear-text passwords between a server and a remote client.
(Password Authentication Protocol) Authentication scheme for PPP links. A password can be specified for both devices on a remote link. Failure to authenticate will result in a dropped connection prior to start of data transmission.
(Password Authentication Protocol). PAP is the protocol that verifies a username and password for PPP connections. This protocol is used if the more extensive CHAP is not available. Also see CHAP PPP Protocol
Acronym for Password Authentication Protocol. The most basic form of authentication, in which a user's name and password are transmitted over a network and compared to a table of name-password pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The Basic Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses PAP.
(Password Authentication Protocol) Is used to verify a user's name and password for PPP Internet connections.
Password Authentication Protocol. Authentication protocol that allows PPP peers to authenticate one another. The remote router attempting to connect to the local router is required to send an authentication request. Unlike CHAP, PAP passes the password and host name or username in the clear (unencrypted). PAP does not itself prevent unauthorized access, but merely identifies the remote end. The router or access server then determines if that user is allowed access. PAP is supported only on PPP lines. Compare with CHAP.
Password Authentication Protocol is a login security protocol.
A protocol that uses a two-way handshake for the peer to establish its identity upon link establishment. The peer repeatedly sends the password to the authenticator until verification is acknowledged or the connection is terminated.
Password Authentication Protocol. A security protocol that uses a two-way handshake for the peer to establish its identity.
Password Authentication Protocol. A simple, plaintext authentication scheme for authenticating PPP connections. The user name and password are requested by the remote access server and returned by the remote access client in plaintext. See also: Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP); remote access; password
An identity verification method used to send a user name and password over a network to a computer that compares the user name and password to a table listing authorized users. See also CHAP.

Password Authentication Protocol. A method of establishing security on PPP links where the caller must provide a password in order to establish the link.
Password Authentication Protocol. Password Authentication Protocol consists of a table of user names and passwords and is the most basic authentication mechanism. Users log in by sending their user name and password unencrypted and unsecurely. Contrast to CHAP
