Configuring an external certificate for the NetBackup web server
By default, NetBackup uses the security certificates that the NetBackup CA has issued. If you have a certificate that an external CA has issued, you can configure the NetBackup web server to use it for secure communication.
See Viewing the certificate authorities that your NetBackup domain supports.
To configure an external certificate for the web server
- Ensure that you have valid certificate, private key of the certificate, and trusted CA bundle.
- Run the following command:
configureWebServerCerts -addExternalCert -nbHost -certPath certificate path -privateKeyPath private key path -trustStorePath CA bundle path [-passphrasePath passphrase file path]
Refer to the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for more details on the command-line options.
In a clustered setup, to avoid a failover run the following command on the active node:
install_path/netbackup/bin/bpclusterutil -freeze
- Restart the NetBackup Web Management Console service to reflect the changes.
On UNIX, run the following commands:
install_path/netbackup/bin/nbwmc -terminate
install_path/netbackup/bin/nbwmc start
On Windows, use the Services application in the Windows Control Panel.
Location of the commands:
Windows
install_path\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\
UNIX
install_path/wmc/bin/install
In a clustered setup, unfreeze the cluster using the following command on the active node:
install_path/netbackup/bin/bpclusterutil -unfreeze
- Verify that you can access the NetBackup web user interface using a browser, without a certificate warning message.
