Specifying a Name for an Application Shared Secret

A shared secret is a secret in a special format. You create a shared secret to store data that is shared between applications. You create a name to easily remember what's in the secret. The name is part of the identifier.

An application shared-secret name has at least one character but can have up to 248 characters (letters, numbers, and special characters except an asterisk).

Note: If you use the = (equals), : (colon), or / (backslash) characters, the maximum length is less than 248 characters.

To specify a name, type the characters. Type a name that uniquely identifies the application (for example, groupwise.exe or www.novell.com).

To create a link (an association) to a credential set, click Credential Sets.

To set a value, click Value.

To set advanced settings, click Advanced.

To create the application shared secret based on the name, value, and advanced settings, click OK.

A trademark symbol (®, TM, etc.) denotes a Novell trademark. An asterisk (*) denotes a third-party trademark. For information, see Legal Notices.
