To Regenerate the Security Keys

In these examples, shared-secret stands for a secret string of up to eight characters that is common to all machines in a server context. The string is required as an argument to the script base-usm-seed.sh. A default string, maplesyr is provided by the software, but you can specify your own password. This secret string or password is used to generate keys for communication between processes.

The following procedure applies to machines on which the Sun Management Center server, agent, or both server and agent are installed.

1. Log in as root.

2. Change to the /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin directory.

3. Regenerate the security keys.

   • If you installed only the agent layer, type:

     # ./es-run base-usm-seed.sh -s shared-secret -c agent -u public

   • If you installed only the server layer, type:

     # ./es-run base-usm-seed.sh -s shared-secret -c topology -u public # ./es-run base-usm-seed.sh -s shared-secret -c trap event cfgserver servers

   • If you installed both the agent and server layers on one host, type:

     # ./es-run base-usm-seed.sh -s shared-secret -u public

4. Restart the Sun Management Center server.
