AUTH-1023
Message Failed to <operation type> during <authentication phase>: port <port number>.
Message Type LOG
Severity ERROR
Probable Cause Indicates an authentication operation failed for a certain authentication phase. The Operation type varies
depending on authentication type:
• Some operations for Switch Link Authentication Protocol (SLAP): certificate retrieve, certificate
verification, signature verification, or nonce signing.
• Some operations for Fibre Channel Authentication Protocol (FCAP): certificate retrieve,
certificate verification, signature verification, or nonce signing.
• Some operations for Diffie Hellman - Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (DH-CHAP):
response calculation, challenge generation, or secret retrieve.
The authentication phase specifies which phase of a particular authentication protocol failed.
A nonce is a single-use, usually random value used in authentication protocols to prevent replay attacks.
Recommended
Action
The error may indicate that an invalid entity tried to connect to the switch. Check the connection port for
a possible unauthorized access attack.
It may indicate that the public key infrastructure (PKI) object for SLAP or FCAP or the secret value for
DH-CHAP on the local entity is not set up properly. Reinstall all PKI objects or reset the secret value for
DH-CHAP properly.
If the message persists, execute the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP
transfers; then execute the supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.

If the message persists, execute the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP
