etsysPwaSystemAuthProtocol
Module: ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB
OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaSystemAuthProtocol
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: The authentication protocol used for this switch module. When set to a chap(1), the authentication scheme used will be the 'PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)', when set to a pap(2), the scheme will be 'Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)'.
When using the CHAP protocol, the username and password utilize the CHAP protocol method of encryption to encrypt the users password in the http transmission of the submitted form on the segment between the end-station and the switch port.
The PAP protocol is less secure than CHAP and does not provide any encryption on the segment between the end-station the switch port. The username and password go over this segment in the http transmission of the submitted form in plain text format.
What is etsysPwaSystemAuthProtocol?
Selects whether the switch challenges login credentials with CHAP (encrypted, chap(1)) or PAP (plain-text, pap(2)); an admin should prefer CHAP unless legacy clients require the less secure PAP.
