ECA_DISABLE_AUTO_ENROLLMENT for NetBackup servers and clients

When NetBackup is configured to use the certificates that an external CA has signed, such certificates are automatically enrolled with the master server during host communication. If you want to disable automatic enrollment of such certificates, set the ECA_DISABLE_AUTO_ENROLLMENT to '1'.

When automatic enrollment is disabled, you can enroll the external certificates manually using the nbcertcmd -enrollCertificate command.

A certificate must be enrolled with the master server before it can be used for host communication.

By default, automatic certificate enrollment is enabled.
