DESCRIPTION
The nbcallhomeproxyconfig command lets users configure a proxy server for Call Home. This configuration supports the NetBackup Product Improvement Program and facilitates the upload of Usage Insights reports. You must configure proxy settings if the NetBackup master server environment has a proxy server between the environment and external internet access.
The proxy configurations shown are supported:
Unauthenticated proxy servers (no proxy user name or password) using HTTP.
Unauthenticated proxy servers (no proxy user name or password) using HTTPS.
An authenticated proxy server that requires a proxy user name and a password using HTTP.
An authenticated proxy server that requires a proxy user name and a password using HTTPS.
All configurations require a unique credential name. This name is assigned to the CALLHOME_PROXY_NAME key in the NetBackup configuration.
Example: CALLHOME_PROXY_NAME = myproxy
All configurations have some common requirements:
A configuration name: This name uniquely identifies the proxy configuration in the NetBackup configuration.
A server name including protocol: This name is the address of the proxy server. This address is in the form of a URL (http://proxy.example.com) or as an IP address (https://10.23.11.5).
A server port number: The port that is used to connect to the proxy.
For an unauthenticated proxy server using HTTP, these are the only required fields. For an authenticated proxy server, the configuration requires a proxy user name and password.
If the proxy server uses SSL/TLS (HTTPS), a CA certificate is required to authenticate the proxy server connection. This certificate is typically a .pem file. The nbcallhomeproxyconfig prompts for path to the CA cert .pem file if the server protocol that is specified is HTTPS.
