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.
