Could I ask for some detailed enlightenment on the purpose of the "Shared Key" for AirWave authentication of an IAP, please.
These are my ramblings...
If any string can be entered on the VC, why is it needed?
A VC cannot actually "authenticate" against Airwave, as the key is not shared with Airwave prior to associating with it.
I have looked through AirWave and cannot find where the key could be referenced against a VC prior to authorising it to be managed (for example, an AirWave administrator could use the key as an identifier that the VC is legitimately trying to associate with AirWave, and delete devices that do not show the correct key).
I have trawled through previous posts and user guides, but have found no explicit answers to the above.
Platform is AirWave 8.
Thanks very much,
Johnny.
