DES-Based security on associations

The following entry

class aetitle
    name '1.3.18.0.2.4.6=NETB'
    associationKey 'a0b1c2d3e4f50011'

specifies that some instances of CMIP services on NETB can exchange requests and actions with CMIP services on this host. Associations are allowed only if the correct DES encryption key is used. Note that the directory definition file on any instance of CMIP services on NETB is required to have the same DES encryption key for the association to be allowed.

In the following example, the combination of the * value for the name attribute and the associationKey attribute establishes an encryption key that must be used by all instances of CMIP services that are not already specified with a name attribute on another entry in the directory definition file.

class aetitle
    name '*'
    associationKey '0123456789abcdef'

This entry specifies that all associations with CMIP services on this host must use the same encryption key, 0123456789abcdef, to have an association with CMIP services on this host.
