VMware SRM 1.0 : failed to configure Array managers in SRM in secure mode.

In My VMware SRM setup. We are trying to do bidirectional SRM. Like Site I and SIte II will act as Protected and recovery site vice versa in failover. But it seems to me that when I keep my ESX Host which has solution enabler installed & windows SRM host which also has ENMC solution enabler installed ( Symclient). When I use non-secure mode to configure arraymanagers, I am able to add/configure array managers but when I chose secure mode it gives me error that Management system error while configuring array manager ( pls. see attached screenshot for details).

To change secure mode on ESX solution enabler host as well as windows Solution enbaler ( which I eventually installed on SRM host itself), I do as below.

On ESX solution enabler host: /var/symapi/config/options...changing secure mode to nonsecure and vice varsa.

On windows solution enabler host: C:\Program Files\EMC\SYMAPI\config\netcnfg ...changing secure mode to nonsecure and vice varsa.

But when I chose secure mode to configure array manager, it is giving me error as specified in screenshot, with non-secure mode. Array managers get configured.

Now I am confused what is wrong with secure mode in my setup ?
