chapSecret | The security key that you want to use to authenticate a peer connection. |
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a protocol that authenticates the peer of a connection. CHAP is based upon the peers sharing a “secret.” A secret is a security key that is similar to a password.
