Shiva Password Authentication Protocol (SPAP) is a simple encrypted password authentication protocol supported by Shiva remote access servers. With SPAP, the remote access client sends an encrypted password to the remote access server. SPAP uses a two-way encryption algorithm. The remote access server decrypts the password and uses the plaintext form to authenticate the remote access client.
To configure a connection for SPAP, see To configure identity authentication and data encryption settings.
