Issue
Error: "Node verification failed" in ACE/Server logs
Resolution
clear node_secret <enter>
or for newer versions (e.g. version 5.3), execute the following command:
delete node_secret <enter>
2. If you are in high availability mode, execute the following command to synchronize NetScreen slave servers:
exec ha file-sync node_secret.ace
NOTE: You also must clear the node secret on the ACE/Server
3. Run Database Administration (sdadmin on UNIX)
4. Go to Agent Host > Edit Agent Host
5. Uncheck the "Sent Node Secret" box. The next successful authentication will establish a new node secret between the ACE/Server and the NetScreen Firewall.
