encryption key for two Remote Annexes. If you need to continue an entry
on a second line, use the backslash (/) at the end of the first line.
Erpcd first attempts to match complete IP address entries in the
acp_keys file. If it does not find an exact match, it searches entries
that contain wildcards. In either case, it uses the first key entry it finds.

Creating Encryption Keys

You must define encryption keys by setting the acp_key parameter for
each Remote Annex. If the key value is not the same in the acp_keys file
and for the acp_key parameter, the Remote Annex and the server cannot
communicate. In addition, you must set the enable_security parameter
to to use any security feature.
