After installing the system for the first time, no such key has been set yet. Once a connection could be established successfully, this key will be transmitted to the {{fserver/}} and saved there locally. This process is called impregnation. When another {{mserver/}} attempts to establish a connection to this {{fserver/}}, it will require the key that has been set in this option.
