nsVrOspfIfAuthKey

Module: NETSCREEN-VR-OSPF-MIB

OID (symbolic): NETSCREEN-VR-OSPF-MIB::nsVrOspfIfAuthKey

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3224.18.5.7.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-create

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, nsVrOspfIfAuthKey always returns an Oc- tet String of length zero.

What is nsVrOspfIfAuthKey?

The simple-password authentication key for this interface; keys shorter than 8 octets are zero-padded, and reading this object always returns an empty string for security. Admins write this when enabling OSPF plaintext authentication on a segment, but can never read the configured value back.
