Severity INFO AUTH-3005 Message AUDIT, , [AUTH-3005], INFO, SECURITY, , , , Event: , Status: failed, Info: Rejecting authentication request on port because switch policy is turned off. Probable Cause Indicates that the local switch has rejected the authentication request, because the switch policy is turned off. If the neighboring switch has a strict (ON) switch policy, the light will go off due to conflicting configuration settings. Otherwise the E_Port will form without authentication. Recommended Action If the light on the specified port is off, correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the authUtil command, and then enable the port on the neighboring switch using the portEnable command. If the E_Port formed no action is required. Severity INFO AUTH-3006 Message AUDIT, , [AUTH-3006], INFO, SECURITY, , , , Event: , Status: failed, Info: Authentication failed on port due to mismatch of DH-CHAP shared secrets.

The error might indicate that an invalid entity attempted to connect to the switch. Recommended Action Check the connection port for a possible security attack. Check the shared secrets using the secAuthSecret command and reinitialize authentication using the portDisable and portEnable commands. Fabric OS Message Reference 779 53-1002448-01
