Configuring legacy encryption on clients

This topic discusses configuring legacy NetBackup encryption.

The configuration options are in the bp.conf file on UNIX clients and in the registry on Windows clients.

The options are as follows:

  • CRYPT_OPTION

  • CRYPT_STRENGTH

  • CRYPT_LIBPATH

  • CRYPT_KEYFILE

You can also use the NetBackup Administration Console to configure the options from the server. They are on the Encryption tab in the Client Properties dialog box.

Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for details.

You can set the CRYPT_OPTION and CRYPT_STRENGTH options on the bpinst -LEGACY_CRYPT command. The equivalent option settings are -crypt_option, -crypt_strength, respectively.
