Imports an authentication token for peer setup. In order for the CM peers to interact, each peer that wants to participate in the CM Peer Service must import the unique authentication token from the other CM peers.
When a peer's authentication token is imported, the peer is approved for CM Peer Service (and associated features) with your Central Management System appliance. Importing a token is similar to creating an account. Therefore, the token must be from a trusted source that is authenticated with a secure out-of -band mechanism. For example, if the token is sent in a signed email, the sender of the email can be validated to be the administrator of the originating CM peer.
Important
If you change the hostname or IP address of any CM peer, you must generate a new token for that CM peer and import it on all the peers of that Central Management System network.
After you import a token, a CM peer is able to interact with the CM Peer Service on your Central Management System appliance. The hostname of the peer is automatically used as the name of the peer, and the IP address is determined by the value of the token. All CM peers must have unique IP addresses and hostnames.
Note
Use the no form of this command to disable DTI interaction with a CM peer for CM Peer Signature Sharing.
