Listing all current authorization tokens

You can list all the current authentication tokens that were generated on the current master server.

To list all current authorization tokens

  • Enter the following on the master server:

    Windows

    install_path\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -list

    UNIX, Linux

    /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -list

    Sample output: 

    Client               Expiry Date
                                                                                             
SCVMM_console_host_1     Thu Feb 06 16:16:51 GMT+05:30 2016
SCVMM_console_host_2     Fri Feb 07 11:22:53 GMT+05:30 2016

    The command lists the SCVMM console hosts for which the tokens were created as well as their expiration dates. It can help diagnose communication problems between the SCVMM console host and the master server when a certificate has expired.

    • For well-formatted output, set the command prompt or shell screen size to more than 100 units.

    • Server names that are longer than 40 characters are truncated: Characters beyond the first 40 are replaced with "...".
