DESCRIPTION
The configureCertsForPlugins command configures the plug-in or add-in to communicate with a NetBackup master server that uses an external certificate. This command can also configure the plug-in to communicate with a NetBackup master server that was reconfigured to use a NetBackup CA-signed certificate.
This command can be used for the following NetBackup plug-ins:
NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Web Client
NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Client (HTML5)
NetBackup add-in for Microsoft SCVMM Console
Note:
Additional steps are needed to complete the certificate configuration for the plug-in or add-in. See the procedure on configuring an external certificate in the appropriate NetBackup 8.1.3 plug-in or add-in guide.
OPTIONS
- -certPath "path_to_external_certificate_file"
Specifies the path to the certificate for the web server. This file should have a single certificate in PEM format.
- -privateKeyPath "path_to_certificate_key_file"
Specifies the path to the private key for the web server certificate.
- -registerExternalCert
Configures the plug-in or add-in to use an external certificate.
- -registerNBCAcert
Configures the plug-in or add-in to use a NetBackup CA-signed certificate.
- -trustStorePath "path_to_ca_certificate_file"
Specifies the path to the certificate of the intermediate or root certification authority that has issued the web server certificate. This file should have a single certificate in PEM format. The subject of this certificate should match the issuer of the web server certificate.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Configure the plug-in to communicate with a NetBackup master server that uses an external certificate.
# configureCertsForPlugins -registerExternalCert -certPath "c:\server. pem" -privateKeyPath "c:\key.pem" -trustStorePath "c:\ intermediateOrRootCA.pem"
Example 2: Reconfigure the plug-in to communicate with a NetBackup master server that uses a self-signed certificate.
