authUtil 2 Sets the hash type. Valid values are "sha1", "md5" or "all", which sets both hash types. Use this option to disable md5 authentication access by setting the hash type to sha1 only. Disabling md5 access is required when configuring the system for FIPS. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for details on FIPS configuration. --policy Sets the switch authentication policy or device authentication policy. The following options are supported: -sw on|off|active|passive Sets the switch authentication policy. Specify one of the following modes. Operands are exclusive. on Sets the switch authentication policy to ON mode. Strict authentication is enforced on all E_Ports. The inter-switch link (ISL) goes down (port disable), if the connecting switch does not support the authentication or the authentication policy is switched off. off Turns the authentication policy off, and the switch rejects any authentication requests. active Sets the authentication policy to active mode. During switch initialization, authentication is initiated on all E_Ports, but the port is not disabled if the connecting switch does not support authentication or the authentication policy is turned off. passive (default) Sets the authentication policy to passive mode. The switch does not initiate authentication but participates in authentication if the connecting switch initiates authentication. -dev off|passive Sets the device authentication policy. Two modes are supported. Device authentication policy is off by default. off Turns off the device authentication policy. Authentication is not required. The switch ignores any authentication requests and continues with the FC probing without authentication. passive Sets the authentication policy to passive mode. Authentication is optional. If the attached device is capable of doing the authentication then the switch participates in authentication; otherwise it forms an F_Port without authentication. In this mode the device accepts authentication on all F_Ports. authinit [slotnumber/]portnumber [, [slotnumber]/portnumber...| allE Re-initiates authentication on selected ports after changing the DH-CHAP group, hash type, and shared secret between a pair of switches. This command does not work on Private, Loop, NPIV and FICON devices. The command can re-initiate authentication only if the device was previously authenticated. This command may bring down the E_Ports if the DH-CHAP shared secrets are not installed correctly. Valid options include: slotnumber Specify the slot number, if applicable, followed by a slash (/). portnumber Specify the port number. On enterprise-class platforms, use the slotnumber/portnumber format for specifying the port number. Fabric OS Command Reference 41 53-1000599-02
