WEB_SERVER_TUNNEL_ENABLE option for NetBackup servers

In a demilitarized zone (DMZ), the client tries to communicate with the master directly, and if the connection fails, tries to communicate using an HTTP tunnel on the media server. You can use the WEB_SERVER_TUNNEL_ENABLE option to disable the HTTP tunnel on a specific media server. You can use this option if the media server takes a backup of clients that are not in a DMZ.

For more information, refer to the About the communication between a NetBackup client located in a demilitarized zone and a master server through an HTTP tunnel section in the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup media servers.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

WEB_SERVER_TUNNEL_ENABLE = 1 | 0

The option uses the following parameters:

  • 1 for using the HTTP tunnel. This value is considered as default.

  • 0 for disabling the communication using the HTTP tunnel. This value ensures that the HTTP tunnel process does not start.

By default, the WEB_SERVER_TUNNEL_ENABLE option is not present in the configuration file.
