Pending Password (slbDfpPasswordPending)

The pending password the Dynamic Feedback Protocol (DFP) uses for MD5 authentication within password timeout ticks. When read, this object returns a zero-length string. Writing a zero-length string unsets the password.

If modified twice within the time interval given by slbDfpPasswordTimeout, the password and timeout of the first modification are forgotten and replaced by the password and timeout of the second.

Password setting Period (slbDfpPasswordTimeout)

The time interval between setting the pending password and removing the current password.

DFP Password Row status (slbDfpPasswordRowStatus)

The management station uses row status to create or delete a row entry in slbDfpPasswordTable, following the RowStatus textual convention.
