Description

The HttpAuthentication.md document says "The same secret should be used for all nodes in the cluster, ResourceManager, NameNode, DataNode and NodeManager"  but the secret should be different for each service. This description is updated in core-default.xml but has to be updated in HttpAuthentication.md as well.
