You can also think of this as a \u201clogical\u201d Smart Center Server<\/li>\n<li>CLM \u2013 Customer Log Manager. You can also think of this as a \u201clogical\u201d Log Manager<\/li>\n<li>MDS \u2013 Multi Domain Server. This contains all of you various CMAs.<\/li>\n<li>MLM \u2013 Multi-Domain Log Module.

(There is no need to repush the policy to the gateways)<\/li>\n<li>You will then be able to (within the 3rd Party Software) use this SIC Activation Key to pull a SSL Cert from the Manager.
