int tf6DhcpUserConfigAuth	(
	ttUserInterface interfaceHandle,
	tt6DhcpAuthProtocol protocol,
	tt6DhcpAuthAlgorithm algorithm,
	tt6DhcpAuthRdm rdm,
	int flags
	);

Function Description

Set the preferred authentication protocol, algorithm, and replay detection method. If any authentication method other than TM_6_DHCP_AUTH_PROTO_NONE is chosen, the DHCPv6 client will require successful authentication with the server before configuration can occur. If authenticated is preferred but not required, attempt configuration initially with the desired authentication settings. If this fails, set the authentication protocol to TM_6_DHCP_AUTH_PROTO_NONE before starting DHCPv6 again.

Parameters

• interfaceHandle

  Handle to the interface on which to configure authentication

• protocol

  Authentication protocol to use. Valid values:

  • Name	Description
    TM_6_DHCP_AUTH_PROTO_NONE	Do not use authentication
    TM_6_DHCP_AUTH_PROTO_DELAYED	Use Delayed Authentication Protocol (DAP)

• algorithm

  Authentication algorithm to use. Valid values:

  • Name	Description
    TM_6_DHCP_AUTH_ALG_MD5	Use MD5 as authentication algorithm

• rdm

  Replay detection method to use. Valid values:

  • Name	Description
    TM_6_DHCP_AUTH_RDM_MONO_INC	Use a monotonically increasing counter as the RDM

• flags

  Currently unused

  Solicit timed out

  • Note: By default, the Solicit phase cannot time out. See tf6DhcpSetOption()
• TM_6_DHCP_EVENT_NO_SERVER

  No DHCPv6 server available

• TM_6_DHCP_EVENT_CONFIRM_FAILED

  Confirm failed

• TM_6_DHCP_EVENT_CONFIRM_OK
