NetBackup status code: 8788
Message: The Cryptographic Service Provider or key storage provider does not support security descriptors.
Explanation: Some Cryptographic Service Providers or key storage providers do not support certain cryptographic operations. For example, not all providers support security descriptors. NetBackup updates the private key permissions during external CA enrollment, when the NetBackup non-privileged services are running with Local Service account. If the provider corresponding to the certificate that the ECA_CERT_PATH value in NetBackup configuration identifies doesn't support the security descriptors, this error occurs.
Recommended Action: Use a Cryptographic Service Provider or key storage provider that supports security descriptors. Alternatively, use the Local System or an administrator account to run the NetBackup non-privileged services.
For more information about changing the service user, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
