Certificate authority for secure communication
In the global security settings, the information indicates the type certificate authorities that the NetBackup domain supports. Open to view these settings.
NetBackup hosts in the domain can use certificates as follows:
NetBackup certificates.
By default, NetBackup certificates are deployed on the primary server and its clients.
External certificates.
You can configure NetBackupto only communicate with the hosts that use an external certificate. Requires that a host is upgraded to 8.2 or later and has an external certificate that is installed and enrolled. In this case, NetBackup does not communicate with any hosts that use NetBackup certificates. However, you can enable to communicate with any hosts that use NetBackup 8.0 or earlier.
Both NetBackup certificates and external certificates.
With this configuration, NetBackup communicates with the hosts that use a NetBackup certificate or an external certificate. If a host has both types of certificates, NetBackup uses the external certificate for communication.
