ECA_CRL_REFRESH_HOURS for NetBackup servers and clients

The ECA_CRL_REFRESH_HOURS option specifies the time interval in hours to download the CRLs from the URLs that are specified in the peer host certificate's CRL distribution points (CDP).

The ECA_CRL_REFRESH_HOURS option is applicable when you use CDP for CRLs.

See ECA_CRL_PATH for NetBackup servers and clients.

After the specified time interval, CRLs of the certificate authority are downloaded from the URLs that are available in CDP.

By default, the CRLs are downloaded from the CDP after every 24 hours.

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup servers or clients.

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:

ECA_CRL_REFRESH_HOURS = Number of hours

Minimum number of hours that you can specify - 0 hour, which indicates that CRLs from the CDP are not periodically downloaded.

Maximum number of hours that you can specify - 4380 hours

The default value for the option is 24 hours.

Note:

CRLs are also downloaded from the CDP during host communication if they are expired or not available in the CRL cache, irrespective of the time interval set for the ECA_CRL_REFRESH_HOURS option.
