NTP authentication keys
NTP authentication uses a key and a shared secret to verify the identity of the NTP server sending timing information to the
AltaVault. The system encrypts the shared secret text using MD5, and uses the authentication key to access the secret.
To add an NTP authentication key
1. Choose Configure > Date and Time.
2. Under NTP Authentication Keys, complete the configuration as described in this table.
NTP key information
NTP keys appear in a list that includes the key ID, type, secret (displays as the MD5 hash value), and whether the
system trusts the key for authentication.
Configuring SNMP basic settings
You configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) contact and trap receiver settings to enable event
reporting to an SNMP entity in the Configure > SNMP Basic page.
Traps are messages sent by an SNMP entity that indicate the occurrence of an event. The default system configuration
does not include SNMP traps.
AltaVault supports the following SNMP Basic settings:
SNMP Version 1
SNMP Version 2c
SNMP Version 3, which provides authentication through the User-based Security Model (USM)
View-Based Access Control Mechanism (VACM), which provides richer access control
Control Description
Add a New NTP Authentication Key Displays the controls to add an authentication key to the key list. Both trusted and
untrusted keys appear on the list.
Key ID Optionally, specify the secret MD5 key identifier for the NTP server. The valid range is
1 to 65534.
Key Type Select MD5 or SHA1 option.
Secret (Text) Specify the shared secret. You must configure the same shared secret for both the NTP
server and the NTP client to use MD5-based cryptography.
The shared secret:
• is limited to 16 characters or fewer
• cannot include white space or #s
• cannot be empty
• is case sensitive
The secret appears in the key list as its MD5 hash value.
Add Adds the authentication key to the trusted keys list.
Remove Selected Select the check box next to the name and click Remove Selected.
