response from a TACACS+ server to an authentication request,
before querying the next server in the list.

This field defines the value of the global encryption key of the
TACACS+ servers. You can define a global encryption key if you have
one TACACS+ server or if there is more than one server and they all
use the same encryption key. This value is used by the TACACS+
clients. The maximum length is 39 characters. Spaces and special
characters are not permitted.The default value is “ATI.”
