NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Configuring External Certificate Authority (ECA)

If remote MSDP servers support ECA, you can configure the plug-in to communicate with remote MSDP server.

For more information on the external CA support, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

To configure an ECA

  1. Ensure that the external certificate files are saved to the local directory on the Oracle server that this plug-in can access.
  2. Use a text editor to open the msdp_app.cfg file.

    The msdp_app.cfg file is available under <plugin installation path>/etc/ directory:

    See ECA msdp_app.cfg file parameters.

    For example,

    # ECA issue name
    subjectname="cert subject name"
    # ECA cert path
    certpath="cert local path"/cert_chain.pem
    # ECA private key path
    privatekeypath="cert local path"/private/key.pem
    # ECA passphrase file
    passphrasefile="cert local path"/passphrasefile
    # ECA certificate for trusted certs
    truststorepath="cert local path"/trusted/cacerts.pem
