Configuration Commands
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
2-55
authentication: Shared key of the authentication server.
authorization: Shared key of the authorization server.
string: Shared key, a string up to 16 characters excluding the characters “?”.
Description
Use the key command to configure a shared key for HWTACACS authentication,
authorization or accounting.
Use the undo key command to delete the configuration.
By default, no key is set.
The HWTACACS client (the switch system) and HWTACACS server use MD5
algorithm to encrypt the exchanged packets. The two ends verify packets using a
shared key. Only when the same key is used can both ends accept the packets from
each other and give responses. So it is necessary to ensure that the same key is set on
the switch and the HWTACACS server. If the authentication/authorization and
accounting are performed on two server devices with different shared keys, you must
set one shared key for each.
Related command: display hwtacacs.
Example
# Use “hello” as the shared key for HWTACACS accounting.
[Quidway] hwtacacs scheme test1
[Quidway-hwtacacs-test1] key accounting hello
