Create a secure connection between nodes

In order to avoid possible impersonation, it is necessary that connections between neighbouring nodes are made with authentication.

The steps to follow are

1. Register node
2. Assign password to the node
3. Set node type

Although it is not necessary for both nodes to have authentication enabled, it is desirable.

The following is an example of how it is implemented at one endpoint

Scenario

Node-A: XX0XX-2                    Node-B: ZZ8ZZ-4
password para ZZ8ZZ-4: A49=Dk4T    password para XX0XX-2: jTra691R
node-a.hams.org                    node-b.radio.com
port 7300                          port 8000

Operation in Node-A (XX0XX-2)

set/register ZZ8ZZ-4
set/password ZZ8ZZ-4 A49=Dk4T
set/spider ZZ8ZZ-4

Check if the process has been correct

stat/user ZZ8ZZ-4

         Buddies:

On the Node-B (ZZ8ZZ-4) should create a connection script similar to this one

/spider/connect/XX0XX-2

timeout 15
connect telnet node-a.hams.org 7300
'ogin: ' 'ZZ8ZZ-4'
'assword:' 'A49=Dk4T'
client XX0XX-2 telnet

Tested its operation on the Node-B (ZZ8ZZ-4) from console

conn XX0XX-2

Check

sh/conn XX0XX-2
