TCP/4/SOCKET_TCP_MD5_AUTHEN_FAIL

Message

TCP/4/SOCKET_TCP_MD5_AUTHEN_FAIL: TCP MD5 authentication failed. (tcpConnLocalAddress=[tcpConnLocalAddress], tcpConnLocalPort=[tcpConnLocalPort], tcpConnRemAddress=[tcpConnRemAddress], tcpConnRemPort=[tcpConnRemPort], hwTCPProtocol=[hwTCPProtocol], hwTCPVrfName=[hwTCPVrfName])

Description

MD5 authentication for the TCP connection failed.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Meaning
tcpConnLocalAddress	IP address of the local end of a TCP connection
tcpConnLocalPort	Port number of the local end of the TCP connection
tcpConnRemAddress	Destination IP address of the TCP connection
tcpConnRemPort	Port number of the peer end of the TCP connection
hwTCPProtocol	Name of an upper layer application protocol
hwTCPVrfName	Name of virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)

Possible Causes

Cause 1: The MD5 passwords configured for the local and peer TCP ports did not match each other. Cause 2: An MD5 password was configured only for one TCP port.

Procedure

1. Run the display current-configuration command on both ends to view whether the MD5 passwords are configured for the TCP connection.

If an MD5 password is configured only for one TCP port, configure the same MD5 password for the end that does not have one. If MD5 authentication fails, go to Step 3.
If the MD5 passwords configured for the TCP ports are different, go to Step 2.

2. Reconfigure the MD5 passwords to the same value.

3. Collect log information and configuration information, and then contact technical support personnel.

4. End.
