NetBackup uses security certificates to authenticate NetBackup hosts. The security certificates conform to the X.509 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) standard. A master server acts as the Certificate Authority (CA) and issues digital certificates to hosts. NetBackup 8.1 and later hosts can communicate with each other only in a securemode. NetBackup 8.1 hosts must have a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and a host ID-based certificate for successful communication.
