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.
A shared-secret name has at least one character but can have up to 244 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 244 characters.
To specify a name, type the characters. Typically, type the name commonly used to refer to the application (for example, GroupWise®).
To set a value, click Value.
To set advanced settings, click Advanced.
To create the credential-set shared secret based on the name, value, and advanced settings, click OK.
