tmnxNtpAuthKey

Module: TIMETRA-NTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): TIMETRA-NTP-MIB::tmnxNtpAuthKey

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6527.3.1.2.38.5.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-create

Description: The value of tmnxNtpAuthKey is the actual valued compared by other network elements to authenticate an NTP packet. The key can be any combination of up to 32 ASCII characters, including spaces. For authentication to succeed both the authentication key and the authentication type defined by the tmnxNtpAuthKeyType variable must match.

When the tmnxNtpAuthKeyType is des, the key must be a maximum of 8 octets. When the tmnxNtpAuthKeyType is messageDigest, the key may be up to 32 octets long.

When read, tmnxNtpAuthKey always returns an OCTET STRING of zero length.

What is tmnxNtpAuthKey?

Sets the actual authentication key value (up to 32 ASCII characters, or up to 8 octets for DES-type keys) that must match on both ends for NTP packets to authenticate successfully; reading this object always returns an empty string for security. An admin writes the shared secret here to match what's configured on the corresponding NTP server or peer, and should not expect to ever read the value back.
