Problem
The NetBackup Administration Console failed to establish a secure connection with the host.
Error Message
The NetBackup Administration Console failed to establish a secure connection with the host.
Cause
The root cause for this error is that the Authentication Service (AT) needs permissions to access the directory pointed by $vrtsat.home.
In the NetBackup Administration Console, this directory is the home directory of the logged in user that is $HOME.
On UNIX, if you use the root squash option by specifying the su root command, $HOME cannot be accessed and the local host configuration data cannot be initialized.
Solution
If the error appeared because there was no write permission to the local $HOME directory, use the su -root option.
Note: In a Windows environment, this error may occur if the account does not have rights on the local system. Opening a new session while logged in as a local administrator should resolve the error.
