Section 6.4.1, “Creating Shared Secret Names,” on page 178

6.4.1 Creating Shared Secret Names
The shared secret consists of a secret name and one or more secret entry names. You can create a
secret name only, or a secret name and an entry name. For ease of use, the entry name should match
the policy that uses it:
 For a Form Fill policy, the entry name should match a form field name.

For an Identity Injection policy, the entry name should match the Custom Header Name.
For more information on how to use shared secrets with policies, see “ Creating and Managing
Shared Secrets ” in the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP2 Policy Guide .
The Identity Server needs to be configured to use shared secrets. For information on this process, see
Section 3.1.4, “Configuring a User Store for Secrets,” on page 109 .
Shared secret names can be created either on the Custom Attributes page or in the associated policy
that consumes them.
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Servers > Shared Settings > Custom
Attributes .
