Sample Client Authentication Key File

The following figure illustrates API key lists in the Clients column and server key lists in the Servers column.

  • API A contains key11, key21, key31, and key41. Key11 enables API A to communicate with Server A because Server A also contains the key11 entry. You must ensure that API1 is the host name on which API A resides and that Server1 is the host name on which Server A resides.
  • API D contains key14, key24, and key34. Key14 enables API D to communicate with Server A because Server A also contains the key14 entry. You must ensure that API4 is the host name on which API D resides and that Server1 is the host name on which Server A resides.
  • API C can communicate with Server A and Server B through matching keys. API C also can communicate with Server C and Server D only through the * MRLN SIMP keyany line.
