Manage Central Manager details

To enable trusted communication between your Manager and Central Manager, you need to specify the details of Central Manager in Manager. Once communication has been established, Central Manager can synchronize with Manager and can access its configuration.

To add a Manager to Central Manager, do the following:

1. Select Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Setup → Central Manager.

   
   
   

2. Type the Manager Name.
   The Name must begin with a letter. The maximum length of the Name is 40 characters.

   Note

   Special characters except hyphens and underscores are not allowed.

3. Enter Central Manager IP Address. This can be either IPv4 or IPv6 address.
4. The Shared Secret must be a minimum of 8 characters and maximum of 64 characters in length. The Shared Secret cannot start with an exclamation mark nor have any spaces. Secret parameters that can be used in Manager are:
   • 26 alpha: upper and lower case (a,b,c,...z and A, B, C,...Z)
   • 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
   • 32 symbols: ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } \ | ; : " ' , . <? /

     Caution

     The exact, case-sensitive Manager Name and Shared Secret must also be entered into the Central Manager setup. If not, the Manager will not be able to register itself with the Central Manager.

   Retype the Shared Secret to confirm.
5. Type the Contact Information and Location (Optional).
6. Synchronization Enabled is enabled by default. Select No to disable synchronization with Central Manager.
7. Click Finish to begin the Central Manager-Manager trust establishment process.
