+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.
+
 All components of the system invoke the same callbacks.
 Here are descriptions of the components and the connections that they
 make with the system.
