Securing Content Distribution

All servers in a content distribution group must have a way to recognize each other as trusted.

Procedure

  1. On each computer that will act as a server in the content distribution model (distribution server, analytics server, UGC server and content delivery servers), install SDL LiveContent Reach.
  2. On each computer, edit the LiveContent_home/lc_properties file as follows:
    Change the value of lc_auth_seed as desired, and then save the file on each server. The lc_properties file on each server within the distribution group must share the same lc_auth_seed value. You do not need to restart the SDL LiveContent Reach service (bundled) or Tomcat service (webapp) for these changes to take effect.
