About Token Management for host ID-based certificates

Master server administrators use the Token Management utility to perform the following tasks:

  • Create new authorization tokens

    Depending on the security level, an authorization token may be required for a non-master NetBackup host to obtain a host ID-based certificate. The NetBackup administrator of the master server generates the token and shares it with the administrator of the non-master host. That administrator can then deploy the certificate without the presence of the master server administrator.

    See Creating authorization tokens.

  • Delete authorization tokens
