Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

digest_type

string

The type of cryptographic hash used to create and verify the NTP's message authentication code appended to each NTP packet header.

id

integer

NTP symmetric authentication key identifier or index number (ID). This ID is included in the NTP cryptographic hash encoded header.

value

string

A hexadecimal digit string that represents the cryptographic key that is shared with the remote NTP server. The current expected length is 40 characters.

Use the cryptographic key and key ID to create a unique hash value used to authenticate the rest of the NTP data.
Example request 
{
  "_links": {
    "self": {
