View external certificate information for the NetBackup hosts in the domain
Note:
Before you can see external certificate information, you must configure NetBackup for external certificates. See the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide for details.
As you add external certificates to the hosts in the NetBackup domain, use the dashboard to track which hosts need attention. To support an external certificate, a host must be upgraded and enrolled with an external certificate.
To view external certificate information for the hosts
- On the left, select Security > Certificates.
- Click External certificates.
In addition to hosts information and details for the hosts' external certificates, the following information is also included:
The NetBackup certificate status column indicates if a host also has a NetBackup certificate.
The dashboard contains the following information for NetBackup 8.1 and later hosts:
Total hosts. The total number hosts. The hosts most be online and able to communicate with NetBackup primary server.
Hosts with certificates. The number of hosts that have a valid external certificate enrolled with the NetBackup primary server.
Host missing certificates. Either the host supports external certificates, but does not have one enrolled. Or, an upgrade to NetBackup 8.2 is required for the host (applies to versions 8.1, 8.1.1, or 8.1.2). The total also includes any hosts that were reset or any hosts for which the NetBackup version is unknown. NetBackup 8.0 and earlier hosts do not use security certificates and are not reflected here.
Certificate expiry. The hosts that have an expired or expiring external certificate.
You can view details of a host's certificate that was issued by an external certificate authority.
