ECA_TRUST_STORE_PATH for NetBackup servers and clients
The ECA_TRUST_STORE_PATH option specifies the file path to the certificate bundle file that contains all trusted root CA certificates.
This certificate file should have one or more certificates in PEM format.
Do not specify the ECA_TRUST_STORE_PATH option if you use the Windows certificate store.
The trust store supports certificates in the following formats:
PKCS #7 or P7B file having certificates of the trusted root certificate authorities that are bundled together. This file may either be PEM or DER encoded.
A file containing the PEM encoded certificates of the trusted root certificate authorities that are concatenated together.
This option is mandatory for file-based certificates.

Where to use | On NetBackup servers or clients. If certificate validation is required for VMware, RHV servers, or Nutanix AHV, this option must be set on the NetBackup master server and respective access hosts, irrespective of the certificate authority that NetBackup uses for host communication (NetBackup CA or external CA). |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. Use the following format: ECA_TRUST_STORE_PATH = Path to the external CA certificate For example: If you use this option on a Flex Appliance application instance, the path must be |
Equivalent Administration Console property | No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties. |
