Section Number and Name:
5.7.4. Configuring the Required Services: Configuring Inter-host Access Keys

Describe the issue: 

If the following setting do not point to the same private key on all Brokers then jenkins authentication will not work:


AUTH_PRIVKEYFILE="/etc/openshift/server_priv.pem"
AUTH_PRIVKEYPASS=""
AUTH_PUBKEYFILE="/etc/openshift/server_pub.pem"

The same is true for AUTH_SALT.  It must be the same across all Brokers in a cluster or Jenkins integration and scaling will not work.

Suggestions for improvement:
I would make this clear in the documentation.  Perhaps with a "Note" section. 

Additional information: 
The comments in the configuration files themselves do mention this.
