Changing the secret phrase using sm_rebond in SMARTS.



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.
Below is the output from changing the secret phrase successfully:
