Distributing authentication configuration

Instead of configuring authentication on each appliance separately, central management authentication (Configure Authentication) can be configured once on the central manager and then distributed to all managed units. This way, information is entered once and it applies to some or all units; some of the units may have a different type of authentication.

1. Ensure authentication (Configure Authentication) on both the central manager and the managed unit. So if LDAP authentication is being used, ensure that LDAP is configured on the central manager and the managed unit.
2. Select the managed units to receive the distribution of the central management authentication.
3. Click Distribute Authentication Config to distribute the authentication configuration to all managed units selected.
