This command is used to set up secret keys for the DH-CHAP authentication.
The minimum length of a secret key is 8 characters and maximum 40
characters. Setting up secret keys does not initiate DH-CHAP
authentication. If switch is configured to do DH-CHAP, it is performed
whenever a port or a switch is enabled.
Warning: Please use a secure channel for setting secrets. Using
an insecure channel is not safe and may compromise secrets.
The following inputs should be specified for each entry:
1. WWN for which secret is being set up.
2. Peer secret: The secret of the peer that authenticates to peer.
3. Local secret: The local secret that authenticates peer.

Fabric-wide distribution of the AUTH policy

The AUTH policy can be manually distributed to the fabric using the distribute command; there is no
support for automatic distribution. To distribute the AUTH policy, see
on page 142 for instructions.

Accept distributions configuration parameter

Local Switch configuration parameters are needed to control whether a switch accepts or rejects
distributions of the AUTH policy using the distribute command and whether the switch may initiate
distribution of the policy. To set the local switch configuration parameter, see
on page 139.
