SNTP Authentication
SNTP clients can authenticate responses by using HMAC-MD5. An SNTP server is
associated with a key, which is used as input together with the response itself to
the MD5 function; the result of the MD5 is also included in the response packet.
The SNTP Authentication page enables configuration of the authentication keys
that are used when communicating with an SNTP server that requires
authentication.
The authentication key is created on the SNTP server in a separate process that
depends on the type of SNTP server you are using. Consult with the SNTP server
system administrator for more information.
