Renewing an authorization token
You can renew an authentication token that has expired, as follows.
Note:
Authentication tokens expire after one year.
To renew an authentication token
- Enter the following on the master server:
Windows
install_path\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -renew clientName
UNIX, Linux
/usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -renew clientName
Where clientName is the DNS name of the vCenter where the plug-in is installed.
The -renew option deletes the token and creates a new one. Any aliases that existed for the token are retained.
See Listing all current authentication tokens.
See Adding or deleting an additional host name or IP address for an authentication token.
- Use the plug-in's Register Master Servers option to re-register the master server using the renewed authentication token.
