Configuring validity of the autoreissue parameter for a host
When you allow automatic reissue of a host ID-based certificate, the autoreissue parameter is by default enabled for 2880 minutes (or 48 hours or 2 days). After this duration, the parameter is reset and the certificate reissue operation requires a reissue token.
You can configure the duration for automatic reissue of certificate or the time-to-live (TTL) setting for the autoreissue parameter by updating the web.conf
file.
To configure validity of the autoreissue parameter or the TTL setting
- Open the
web.conf
file. Location for the file is as follows:On Windows: Install_Path\var\global\wsl\config\web.conf
On Linux: /usr/openv/var/global/wsl/config/web.conf
- Configure the TTL setting for the autorissue parameter in minutes. For example:
ttl.autoReissue.minutes = 1440
Note:
Valid range for the autoreissue TTL setting is 0 min to 43200 min (or 30 days).
If the TTL value that you have configured is not within the valid range, the server continues using the last configured TTL value.
For the new autoreissue TTL value to take effect, do one of the following:
Restart the NetBackup Web Management Console (WMC) service.
Run the following command:
On Windows: Install_Path/bin/nbhostdbcmd -reloadconfig -host
On UNIX: NETBACKUP_INSTALL_DIR\bin\nbhostdbcmd -reloadconfig -host
