Syntax
sysconf ntp autokeyauth generate [-certalg <certalg>] [-modulus <modulus>] [-signalg <signalg>] [-password <ntpkey>]
| Argument(s) | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -certalg <certalg> | -c |
NTP Certificate Algorithm. Valid values: RSA-SHA1, DSA-SHA1 Default: RSA-SHA1 |
| -modulus <modulus> | -m |
NTP Modulus Size. Only 2048-bit keys are currently supported, so it is not necessary to include this option. Default: 2048 |
| -password <ntpkey> | -p | NTP Symmetric Key Value |
| -signalg <signalg> | -s |
NTP Sign Algorithm Valid values: RSA, DSA Default: RSA |
NOTE If you set the signing algorithm to DSA (-signalg sha), specify DSA-SHA1, not DSA-SHA, for the certificate algorithm (-certalg dsa-sha1). Using DSA-SHA will cause a 'invalid digest type' error.

You must restart NTP for the changes to take effect.
Check NTP status after restarting it to make sure that the client is able to start and sync with the server.
