   The client binaries represent the operating system versions where the binaries were compiled. The binaries typically function perfectly on later versions of the operating system. The installation procedure attempts to load the appropriate binaries for your system. If the script does not recognize the local operating system, it presents choices.

3. Type y and press Enter to continue with the software installation.

   Do you want to install the NetBackup client software for this client? [y,n] (y)

4. Type the name of your NetBackup master server and press Enter to continue.

   Enter the name of the NetBackup master server:

5. Confirm the NetBackup client name and press Enter to continue.

   Would you like to use "client_name" as the configured name of the NetBackup client? [y,n] (y)

6. (Conditional) Enter one or more media servers if prompted:

   This host cannot connect directly to the master server; therefore, 
   one or more media servers are required in order to contact the 
   master server for security information.  Enter the media servers 
   (one per line) or X to skip the question.  Enter Q to indicate all 
   media servers have been entered.
   
   Enter a media server for host master.domain, Q to quit, or X to 
   skip this question:

   q

7. After you confirm you want to continue, the installer fetches the certificate authority certificate details.

   Getting CA certificate details.
   Depending on the network, this action may take a few minutes. To 
   continue without setting up secure communication, press Ctrl+C.

   Be aware if you press Ctrl+C, this action requires you to rerun the installation or continue with the installation without the required security components. If these security components are absent, backups and restores fail.

8. The installer then looks to see what certificate authority the local system is configured to use. The options for certificate authority on the local system are: NetBackup Certificate Authority, external certificate authority, or indeterminate.

   The installer then uses a combination of the master server certificate authority mode and the local system certificate authority configuration to determine the next steps.

9. If the installer prompts you for a certificate file path, your environment uses an external certificate authority. Proceed to step 10.

   If the installer prompts you for fingerprint information, your environment uses a NetBackup Certificate Authority. Proceed to step 16.

   If the installer cannot determine the configuration of the certificate authority on the master server, you are presented with two options:

   • Skip the security configuration and configure your certificate authority after installation. More information about post-installation certificate authority configuration is available:

     https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100044300

     For more information, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide and refer to the chapter on external CA and external certificates.

     Proceed to step 20.

   • Exit the installation and restart the installation once you configure your certificate authority.

10. Provide the external certificate authority information at the prompts shown:

    Enter the certificate file path or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/cert_chain.pem
    
    Enter the trust store location or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem
    
    Enter the private key path or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/private/key.pem
    
    Enter the passphrase file path or q to skip security configuration 
    (default: NONE): /usr/eca/private/passphrase.txt

    Note:

    Be aware the passphrase file path is optional.

11. When prompted, provide the required information for the CRL configuration:

    Should a CRL be honored for the external certificate?
    1) Use the CRL defined in the certificate.
    2) Use the CRL from a file path.
    3) Do not use a CRL.
    q) skip security configuration
    CRL option (1): 

12. (Conditional) If you specify 2, you must enter the path to the CRL location:

    Enter the CRL location path or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/crl

13. The installer echoes the configuration information you entered and attempts to retrieve details for the external certificate:

    External CA values entered:
    Certificate file path:  /usr/eca/cert_chain.pem
    Trust store file path:  /usr/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem
    Private key file path:  /usr/eca/private/key.pem
     Passphrase file path:  /usr/eca/private/passphrase.txt
          CRL check level:  Use the CRL from a file path.
        CRL location path:  /usr/eca/crl
