How to match Api.AppId and Api.AppKey when multiple SecureAuth appliances are not using FileSync

SecureAuth IdP Version Affected:  All

Description: When using the SecureAuth API to provide authentication, it may be necessary to match the Application ID and Application Key when there are two or more appliances present that are not already leveraging the SecureAuth FileSync tool.

2. Click on the 'System Info' tab and scroll to the bottom of the page - click on the link for the 'Web Config Editor':

3.  Search the web.config file for the keys 'Api.AppId' and 'Api.AppKey' - you should find sections similar to those shown below:

4. Copy these two sections into a Notepad and replace the two keys 'Api.AppId' and 'Api.AppKey' in the web.config file for the equivalent realm on the other appliances.  Once the keys have been replaced, you should see that the 'API' tab now shows the same Application ID and Application Key as was originally generated:
