3.1 Auth Service

Anubis session in traditional mode begins by querying auth service on the client machine in order to obtain system name of the user that initiated the session. Some identd servers are able to encrypt sensitive information in their replies. Anubus supports encryption protocol introduced by pidentd server (2). If some of your clients implement encryption, you would need the DES key (or keys) they use for that purpose. Each such key is a sequence of 1024 bytes. Store them in a file and ensure its ownership and mode prevent dissemination of this information. Any number of keys can be stored.

Once done, inform anubis about location of this file by placing the following statement in the CONTROL section of your configuration file:

identd-keyfile filename

(replace filename with the actual name of the file).
