Revoking an authorization token

You can revoke an authentication token on a master server to prevent the plug-in from performing restores from that master server.

Note:

To retain the token's aliases, you can renew the token rather than deleting it.

See Renewing an authorization token.

To revoke the authentication token

  • Enter the following on the master server:

    Windows

    install_path\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\manageClientCerts.bat -delete clientName

    UNIX, Linux

    /usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/manageClientCerts -delete clientName

    Where clientName is the DNS name of the vCenter in which the plug-in is installed.

    The -delete option removes the authentication token and its compressed file from the master server. The plug-in is no longer authorized to restore virtual machines from the backups that this master server made.
