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 for the NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Web Client.
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.
See Authorizing the NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Web Client to restore virtual machines.
