             Summary: Doc changes needed for enable security-manager property
                 Key: GEODE-10307
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10307
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.14.4
            Reporter: Dave Barnes


Community member Eric Shu reports:
Here is the description for enable security properties: 
(https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/114/managing/security/enable_security.html)

security-manager Property
The authentication callback and the authorization callback that implement the 
SecurityManager interface are specified with the security-manager property. 
When this property is defined, authentication and authorization are enabled. 
The definition of the security-manager property is the fully qualified name of 
the class that implements the SecurityManager interface. For example:

security-manager = com.example.security.MySecurityManager
To ensure that the security-manager property is applied consistently across a 
cluster, follow these guidelines:

Specify the security-manager property in a properties file, such as 
gemfire.properties, not in a cluster configuration file (such as 
cluster.properties).
Specify the properties file when you start the first locator for the cluster. 
The locator will propagate the value to all members (locators and servers) that 
follow.
If you must specify the security-manager property for servers (neither 
necessary nor recommended) make sure its value is exactly identical to that 
specified for the first locator.

This is true if the cluster has enabled the cluster configuration service, and 
new members have set the `use-cluster-configuration=true`.

Documentation should explain that if cluster configuration is not enabled, you 
must specify the security-manager property for servers, makng sure its value is 
exactly identical to that specified for the first locator.
