System
object’s AuthenticationKey property.
2. Set the AuthenticationEnabled property of the AppDevice

of those applications opens the network. Note that if you
have set the authentication key used by a Full client's
network interface to match the authentication key
established in step 1, then other clients can use that
connection without re-specifying the key, as long the first
