NetBackup CloudStore Service Container security modes

This is applicable only up to NetBackup version 8.1.2.

The NetBackup CloudStore Service Container can run in one of two different modes. The security mode determines how the clients communicate with the service, as follows:

Secure mode

In the default secure mode, the client components must authenticate with the CloudStore Service Container. After authentication, communication occurs over a secure HTTPS channel.

Non-secure mode

The CloudStore Service Container uses non-secure communication. Clients communicate with the server over HTTP with no authentication required.

You can use the CSSC_IS_SECURE attribute of the cloudstore.conf file to set the security mode. The default value is 64, secure communication.

See NetBackup cloudstore.conf configuration file.

See About the NetBackup CloudStore Service Container.
