Managing Certification Authorities (CA) for NetBackup Cloud
NetBackup cloud supports only X.509 certificates in .PEM (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) format.
You can find the details of the Certification Authorities (CAs) in the cacert.pem bundle at following location:
Windows:
On media server version 10.0, the path is:
<installation-path>\NetBackup\var\global\cloudOn media server version 8.2 to 9.1, the path is:
<installation-path>NetBackup\var\global\wmc\cloud\cacert.pemOn media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2, the path is:
install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\db\cloud\cacert.pem.
UNIX:
On media server version 10.0, the path is:
/usr/openv/var/global/cloud/On media server version 8.2 to 9.1, the path is:
/usr/openv/var/global/wmc/cloud/cacert.pemOn media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2, the path is:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloud/cacert.pem.
Note:
In a cluster deployment, NetBackup database path points to the shared disk, which is accessible from the active node.
You can add or remove a CA from the cacert.pem bundle.
After you complete the changes, when you upgrade to a new version of NetBackup, the cacert.pem bundle is overwritten by the new bundle. All the entries that you may have added or removed are lost. As a best practice, keep a local copy of the edited cacert.pem file. You can use the local copy to override the upgraded file and restore your changes.
Note:
Ensure that you do not change the file permission and ownership of the cacert.pem file.
To add a CA
You must get a CA certificate from the required cloud provider and update it in the cacert.pem file. The certificate must be in .PEM format.
- Open the
cacert.pemfile. - Append the self-signed CA certificate on a new line and at the beginning or the end of the
cacert.pemfile.Add the following information block:
Certificate Authority Name
==========================
- - - - - BEGIN CERTIFICATE - - - - -
<Certificate content>
- - - - - END CERTIFICATE - - - - -
- Save the file.
To remove a CA
Before you remove a CA from the cacert.pem file, ensure that none of the cloud jobs are using the related certificate.
- Open the
cacert.pemfile. - Remove the required CA. Remove the following information block:
Certificate Authority Name
==========================
- - - - - BEGIN CERTIFICATE - - - - -
<Certificate content>
- - - - - END CERTIFICATE - - - - -
- Save the file.
