Unable to authenticate through EXT

To authenticate itself to the ACS? Or for the ACS to authenticate itself to the CPE?

Here is the default inform provision. It sets the username/password for ACS to CPE authentication.

// Device ID as user name
const username = declare("DeviceID.ID", {value: 1}).value[0]

// Password will be fixed for a given device because Math.random() is seeded with device ID by default.
const password = Math.trunc(Math.random() * Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).toString(36);

const informInterval = 300;

// Refresh values daily
const daily = Date.now(86400000);

// Unique inform offset per device for better load distribution
const informTime = daily % 86400000;
