Changing Encryption
Key
For security reason, the messages communicated between the RAS 1500
and the NT Security Client are encrypted with an Encryption Key. The
default Encryption Key is "3com". The Encryption Key is stored in the NT
Registry database in the entry of "EncryptionKey", under the subkey
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\
ABSecurityClient.
You can change the default encryption key by using NT Registry Editor. If
you change the encryption key, make sure that you also update the
ScrtyClntPasswd parameter in the RAS 1500.
If the NT Security Client is already running when you change the
encryption key, you must disable the NT Security Client service and
re-enable the service for the changes to take effect.
