Renewing an authorization token

You can renew an authentication token that has expired, as follows.

Note:

Authentication tokens expire after one year.

To renew an authentication token

  1. Enter the following on the master server:

    Windows

    install_path\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -renew clientName

    UNIX, Linux

    /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -renew clientName

    Where clientName is the DNS name of the SCVMM console host where the add-in is installed.

    The -renew option deletes the token and creates a new one. Any aliases that existed for the token are retained.

    See Listing all current authorization tokens.

    See Adding or deleting an additional host name or IP address for an authentication token.

  2. Use the plug-in's Register Master Servers option to re-register the master server using the renewed authentication token.
