UCS Central Shared Secret... Shhh! It's a secret.

The UCS Central shared secret is used for authenticating a UCS domain with the Central server.  It is only needed for initial registration.  If you happen to change your shared secret, UCS domains that are already registered with UCS Central will not be affected.  If you need to reset the shared secret, the following procedure can be used:

central# connect local-mgmt

Enter the Shared Secret  :
Confirm Shared Secret :

**Note: The shared secret must contain characters from at least three of the following classes: lower case letters, upper case letters, digits and special characters.  It cannot be based off of a dictionary word.

  1. If you reset the shared secret, you have to reset it in UCS Central and UCSM.
