Secure communication between a NetBackup client in a demilitarized zone and a master server
Starting with NetBackup 8.1, the media server creates an HTTP tunnel to enable secure web service communication between NetBackup clients that are in a demilitarized zone (restricted network) and the master server. After the web service communication is set up, the further communication uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Secure web service communication between the NetBackup clients and the master server is important for deploying security certificates and overall NetBackup communication.
