Create Cluster Property: token.salt

Note: In a high-availability environment where you have installed two gateways, perform these steps on Gateway one only.

Configure the token.salt property settings for your Layer 7 Gateway node. If your node is part of a cluster, all other nodes in the cluster inherit the new settings as well.

Salt enhances the security of the token store. It is a random string that the system uses to encrypt the token store.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Manage, then Manage Cluster-Wide Properties.
2. Examine the list of properties. If token.salt already exists, skip the remainder of this process.

   If the property does not already exist, click Add.

3. In the Key field, enter:

   token.salt
   

4. In the Value field, enter a random string that will act as salt for the token store. Generate a random string by running the following on the command line:

   openssl rand -base64 32

5. Copy the output and paste it into the Value field.
6. Click Ok.
