Configuring a secure cluster node by node

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
For environments that do not support passwordless ssh or passwordless rsh, you cannot use the -security option to enable secure mode for your cluster. Instead, you can use the -securityonenode option to configure a secure cluster node by node. Moreover, to enable security in fips mode, use the -fips option together with -securityonenode.
Table: Configuring a secure cluster node by node lists the tasks that you must perform to configure a secure cluster.
