External certificate authority certificates supported in NetBackup 8.2 and later
NetBackup introduced support for external certificate authority certificates in NetBackup 8.2. This change provides an alternative to the NetBackup Certificate Authority for providing host verification and security. It supports certificates in PEM, DER, and P7B formats.
For information on external CA support in NetBackup and external CA-signd certificates, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
External certificate authority limitations in NetBackup 8.2
External certificate authority specifications containing UNC paths or mapped network drives fail for Windows hosts that use a remote installation method
You cannot use UNC paths and mapped network drives for external CA certificate specifications on Windows hosts performing remote installations. Remote installation methods include VxUpdate and the setup wizard push installation option. If you attempt to use a UNC path or mapped network drive, the precheck and the installation operations fail due to inaccessible paths.
