All InCharge suites and applications that interact with each other must share a common secret phrase. By default, the secret phrase is Not a secret without the quotes and with the spaces. To change the secret phrase, you will need to run "sm_rebond" from BASEDIR/smarts/bin file. The following command will allow you to change the secret phrase: sm_rebond --basedir=<path to BASEDIR>
Additional Information
The path to BASEDIR of the SAM Suite for a default installation on Microsoft Windows would be: C:\InCharge6\SAM\smarts. On UNIX, it would be: /opt/ICharge6/SAM/smarts.
