Disclaimer: I am no expert, just trying to apply common sense...

I suspect it is not within the scope of pptp/ppp/chap/whatever to
provide such an option - this stuff is way too low level for user
management or anything like that, so I am not surprised. 

Maybe you should look into combining poptop with something that
handles authentication, e.g., like RADIUS (FreeRADIUS?), and look for
options there?
