The first step in enabling user record synchronization is to define the node name and the
shared secret used for client/server authentication. The node name is used when
associating a client with a server and is different from the logical name assigned to a
server. This node name is also not the same as the cluster node name. The shared secret
is the password used to authenticate the client with its servers and the primary server
with its peer servers. Use the same shared secret for all clients and servers participating
in user record synchronization.
To enable user record synchronization:
In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices. Click the Device Tree

tab, and then double-click the Secure Access device for which you want to enable

in the Node Function drop-down list.
Click OK to save the changes.

NOTE: If you need to make any changes in this window at a later time, you
must clear the User Record Synchronization Enabled check box and click
OK. Modify your entries, select the User Record Synchronization Enabled
check box and save your changes. Once you enter a name and shared secret,
you cannot clear these fields.
