The status of this conceptual row in the partyTable.

A party is not qualified for activation until instances of all columns of its partyEntry row have an appropriate value. In particular:

A value must be written to the Party's partyCloneFrom object.

If the Party's partyAuthProtocol object has the value md5AuthProtocol, then the corresponding instance of partyAuthPrivate must contain a secret of the appropriate length. Further, at least one management protocol set operation updating the value of the party's partyAuthPrivate object must be successfully processed, before the partyAuthPrivate column is considered appropriately configured.

If the Party's partyPrivProtocol object has the value desPrivProtocol, then the corresponding instance of partyPrivPrivate must contain a secret of the appropriate length. Further, at least one management protocol set operation updating the value of the party's partyPrivPrivate object must be successfully processed, before the partyPrivPrivate column is considered appropriately configured.

Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the partyStatus column is `notReady'.
