Using the acp_keys File
The acp_keys file stores Remote Annex names or IP addresses and
corresponding encryption keys. Erpcd uses the keys you define here to
create encryption keys that the security server and a Remote Annex use
to exchange messages. When the security server receives an encrypted
message from a Remote Annex, it matches the key with an associated
Remote Annex in the acp_keys file. If there is no match, the Remote
Annex and the server cannot communicate.
To create an entry in the acp_keys file:
1.
From the Bay Networks program group window, double-click
on the appropriate icon to open the acp_keys file.
The acp_keys file opens in the Notepad editor.
2.
Find the area of the file where entry information resides and
enter one or more Remote Annex names or IP addresses.
Use an asterisk (wildcard) for any part of an IP address. If you
list more than one Remote Annex, you must separate names or
IP addresses using commas.
3.
Type a colon to separate Remote Annex names or addresses
from the encryption key.
4.
Enter an encryption key that uses up to 15 characters.
You cannot use spaces or tabs here. Encryption keys are case-
sensitive. For additional information, refer to
Creating
Encryption Keys
on page 3-17.
