To get authenticated, <em>libbrlapi</em> has to tell the <em>BrlAPI</em> server a secret key, for security reasons. This is the path to the file which holds it; it will hence have to be readable by the application.
<p>
Setting <code>NULL</code> defaults it to local installation setup or to the content of the BRLAPI_AUTHNAME environment variable, if it exists.     </td>

this tells where the <em>BrlAPI</em> server resides: it might be listening on another computer, on any TCP port. It should look like "foo:1234", which means TCP port number 1234 on computer called "foo". <dl compact><dt><b>Note: </b></dt><dd>
