Remove the external certificate configured for the web server

You can remove the external certificate that is configured for the web server. NetBackup then uses the NetBackup CA-signed certificate for secure communication.

To remove the external certificate configured for the web server

  1. Run the following command (in a clustered master server setup, run this command on the active node):

    configureWebServerCerts -removeExternalCert -nbHost

    • In a clustered master server setup, run the following command on the active node to freeze the cluster to avoid a failover:

      install_path/netbackup/bin/bpclusterutil -freeze

  2. Restart the NetBackup Web Management Console service.
    • In a clustered master server setup, run the following command on the active node to unfreeze the cluster:

      install_path/netbackup/bin/bpclusterutil -unfreeze
