Sets the authentication policy to "on" mode. Authentication is mandatory. If
the attached device is not capable of doing authentication, the corresponding
port is disabled.
--authinit [slot/]port [, [slot/]port...| allE
Reinitiates authentication on selected ports after changing the DH-CHAP group,
hash type, and shared secret between a pair of switches. This command does not
work on Private, Loop, NPIV and FICON devices. This command may bring down
the E_Ports if the DH-CHAP shared secrets are not installed correctly. This
command is not supported on encrypted ports. This option is not supported in AG
mode. Valid options include the following:
slot
Specify the slot number, if applicable, followed by a slash (/).
port
Specify the port number. On enterprise-class platforms, use the slot/port format for
specifying the port number.
allE
Specify all E_Ports in the switch.
EXAMPLES

switch:admin> authutil --set -a dhchap

To set both protocols in order of FCAP and then DH-CHAP:
switch:admin> authutil --set -a all
Authentication is set to fcap,dhchap.
To enable sha1 hash type:
switch:admin> authutil --set -h sha1
Hash is set to sha1.
To enable all hash types:
switch:admin> authutil --set -h all
Hash is set to sha256,sha1,md5.
To check the hash types set:
switch:admin> authutil --show
