Check SmHost.conf File Permissions for Shared Secret Rollover

If you enable shared secret rollover, the user who owns the web server process must have permissions to write to the SmHost.conf file. If this file cannot be modified by this user, then the shared secret rollover cannot be updated.

For example, for Sun Java System and Apache web servers, the person specified by the User directive needs write permission to the SmHost.conf file. If the SmHost.conf file is owned by User1 and no other user has write permissions, the shared secret rollover cannot be updated if User2 owns the server process.
