Host security authentication

Use the HCM GUI or the Brocade command line utility (BCU) to display the authentication settings
and status. There are five well-known DH groups; however, only DH-CHAP group 0, called NULL DH,
is supported in this release.
NOTE
Security authentication is not supported on Solaris platforms.
