Workflow for external KMS configuration
For external KMS integration, centralized configuration on the NetBackup master server is used. The master server should establish an outbound connection with the KMIP port on the external KMS server. Configure the communication channel with external KMS on the master server with certificate credentials. The master server then sends all the requests to the external KMS servers on behalf of other servers such as media servers.
