Object

r/w
OctetString
The cleartext password used as an OSPF authentication key when
simplePassword security is enabled. This object does not access any
OSPF cryptogaphic (e.g., MD5) authentication key under any
circumstance.
If the key length is shorter than 8 octets, th agent will left adjust
and zero fill to 8 octets.
Unauthenticated interfaces need no authentication key, and simple
password authentication cannot us a key of more than 8 octets.
Note that the use of simplePassword authentication is NOT recommended
when there is concern regarding attack upon the OSPF system.
SimplePassword authentication is only sufficient to protect against
accidental misconfigurations because it re-uses cleartext passwords
[RFC1704].
When read, ospfIfAuthKey always returns an octet string of length zero.
This is a private substitution for ospfIfAuthKey of RFC1253.
