Setting Up a Certificate Manager as a Trusted Manager
You can set up a Certificate Manager to function as a trusted manager to a remote
Data Recovery Manager. The setup process involves the following steps:
•
Step 1. Find the Required Information
•
Step 2. Create a User Entry for the Certificate Manager
•
Step 3. Copy the Certificate Manager's Certificate to the Internal Database
•
Step 4. Check the Certificate Database for the CA Certificate
•
Step 5. Configure Certificate Manager's Connector Settings
Step 1. Find the Required Information
Before setting up a Certificate Manager to function as a trusted manager to a Data
Recovery Manager:
•
Note identifying information, such as the instance ID and host name of the
Certificate Manager.
•
Make sure that the Certificate Manager has the certificate you want it to use for
SSL client authentication to the Data Recovery Manager that will trust it; by
default, the Certificate Manager uses its SSL server certificate for this purpose.
The certificate must be currently valid; the certificate must not have expired,
been revoked, or been signed by an authority untrusted by the subsystem. For
details, see "Trusted Manager's Certificate for SSL Client Authentication" on
page 383.
•
Locate the certificate in base-64 encoded format. Copy the certificate, including
the
marker lines, to a text file.
•
Identify the Data Recovery Manager to which you want to connect the
Certificate Manager. Note details, such as the host name and port number of
that Data Recovery Manager.
Step 2. Create a User Entry for the Certificate Manager
In this step, you create a privileged-user entry for the Certificate Manager in the
internal database of the Data Recovery Manager. As a part of creating this entry,
you also add the user entry to the
entry access privileges to the agent port of the Data Recovery Manager.
