outgoing packets
2.One or more lines defining how incoming packets
might be being signed.
The file must follow the following format:
auth num num method secret num method secret num method secret ...
SUPPORTED SIGNATURE METHODS¶
The following signature methods are supported in authkeys (listed here in alphabetical order): md5MD5 hash method. This method requires a shared
secret.
sha1
SHA-1 hash method. This method requires a shared
secret.
crc
Cyclic Redundancy Check hash method. This method does not
require a shared secret and is insecure; it's use is strongly
discouraged.
An absolutely up-to-date list of authentication methods supported may be
retrieved by running ls /usr/lib/heartbeat/plugins/HBauth/*.so.
