Enabling SSL on Veritas Access

To enable SSL on Veritas Access using the Veritas Access GUI

  1. Log on to the Veritas Access GUI and click on Settings > S3 Management.
  2. Click the Edit button at the top.
  3. Click Yes under the Enable SSL button. This automatically creates a certificate on Veritas Access in the /shared/ptgwy/cacert.pem directory.

To enable SSL on Veritas Access using the Veritas Access command-line interface

  • Enable SSL on Veritas Access.
    Objectaccess > set ssl_enabled yes
Objectaccess > server stop

Objectaccess > server start

To copy the certificate to NetBackup

  1. Go to the bash prompt of the cluster node and copy the following content from the /shared/ptgwy/cacert.pem file and append it to the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloud/cacert.pem on the NetBackup master and media servers.
