Description: The Authentication Key. If the Area's Author- ization Type is simplePassword, and the key length is shorter than 8 octets, the agent will left adjust and zero fill to 8 octets.

Note that unauthenticated interfaces need no authentication key, and simple password authen- tication cannot use a key of more than 8 oc- tets. Larger keys are useful only with authen- tication mechanisms not specified in this docu-

ment.

When read, nsOspfIfAuthKey always returns an Oc- tet String of length zero.

What is nsOspfIfAuthKey?

Configures the plaintext key used for OSPF simple-password authentication on this interface; note that reading this object always returns an empty string, since the agent never discloses the configured key back out.
