Add-ClientNodeSecurity
This PowerShell Cmdlet enables secure communication between a client application and a cache by configuring the necessary user credentials in the client.ncconf file. This Cmdlet allows you to provide cache user credentials for a specified cache. However, the administrative credentials are only required if the client node itself is secured.
Warning
This cache security is replicated on every client node so any secondary users are added to the client node.
Add-ClientNodeSecurity [-CacheName] -AdminCredentials -NodeName -CacheUserCredentials [-Port] [-NoLogo] [-Server]
