Disabling Authentication
To disable authentication for all the devices in a system, follow
these steps:
1. Set the AuthenticationEnabled property to False on the
AppDevice object that represents the System object’s
NetworkServiceDevice. This disables authentication for all
application devices, routers and Network Service Devices
operating on the system.
2. Set the System object’s AuthenticationKey property to ffff
ffff ffff to indicate that authentication is disabled.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
Syntax authEnabled = Object.AuthenticationEnabled
Element Description
authEnable
d
Boolean value indicating whether a router
uses network management authentication.
If the SecurityLevel property of the System
object is set to
lcaSecurityLevelKeyDistributionEnabled
, setting this property to True enables network
management authentication and installs the
system key in the router.
If the SecurityLevel is not
lcaSecurityLevelKeyDistributionEnabled
, setting this property to True implies that
network management authentication will be
enabled by the ObjectServer, but the system
key will be installed in the router side by some
external means.
Setting this property to False results in
removing the system key from the router side
and disabling network management
authentication on the router side.
Only application devices whose
AuthenticationEnabled property is set to
True are permitted to participate in
authenticated connections. If an application
device participates in authenticated
connections, you cannot set this property to
False.
Object The object to be acted on.
Data Type Boolean.
Read/Write Read/write.
