Using the secret phrase for multiple products and sites

You can use the secret phrase across multiple products and sites.
Install one or more products on one or more hosts.
  1. Stop the
    Manager
    if short periods of interrupted communications are not detrimental.
    However, if the products also use cleartext connections, you can use the
    sm_rebond
    utility without stopping the
    Manager
    . Only that product will lose connections for a short period of time.
  2. Use the
    sm_rebond
    utility to change the secret phrase for each suite on each host.
    The secret phrase must be exactly the same for each suite on each host in order for the applications to make connections.
  3. Use the
    sm_edit
    utility to update the security configuration files and seed files of the suites as needed.
  4. Restart the
    Manager
    if applicable.
