VMS Help XAUTH, X Authority Files, Format of File Entries, token *Conan The Librarian |
A random alphanumeric string that functions as a password
authorizing a server connection. The format of the token depends
on the authorization scheme in use. MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 uses a
128-bit string known as a magic cookie. MIT-KERBEROS-5 uses an
encrypted string to authorize server connections. This string
is stored separately. The token entry in the X authority file
represents the encoded location of the Kerberos keytab file and
associated principal name, which is referenced by the server to
locate the encrypted string.
