device (client) and AAA server. The key is a case-sensitive,
alphanumeric string of up to 127 characters. Special characters are
permitted.
The key you define in this field must match the key on the RADIUS
server. Enter the key again in the Confirm field.
Note the following:
•A key is required for AAA server objects used in an IPS AAA
policy. Otherwise, the key is optional.
•Spaces are not permitted on PIX, ASA, or FWSM devices.
Otherwise, they are permitted.
•If you do not define a key, all traffic between the AAA server and
its AAA clients is sent unencrypted.
