7 Authentication policy for fabric elements This command is used to set up secret keys for the DH-CHAP authentication. The minimum length of a secret key is 8 characters and maximum 40 characters. Setting up secret keys does not initiate DH-CHAP authentication. If switch is configured to do DH-CHAP, it is performed whenever a port or a switch is enabled. Warning: Please use a secure channel for setting secrets. Using an insecure channel is not safe and may compromise secrets. Following inputs should be specified for each entry. 1. WWN for which secret is being set up. 2. Peer secret: The secret of the peer that authenticates to peer. 3. Local secret: The local secret that authenticates peer.

Fabric-wide distribution of the Auth policy The AUTH policy can be manually distributed to the fabric by command; there is no support for automatic distribution. To distribute the AUTH policy, see "Distributing the local ACL policies" on page 144 for instructions. Local Switch configuration parameters are needed to control whether a switch accepts or rejects distributions of the AUTH policy using the distribute command and whether the switch may initiate distribution of the policy. To set the local switch configuration parameter, refer to "Policy database distribution" on page 142. 136 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1001336-01
