Can SSL certificates be installed post installation of NSS

I have just installed NSS, however I now need to add the SSL security certificates, is this possible?

  • Yes, however It is recommended that you install the SSL certificate before NSS, if however you want to apply afterwards then do the following:

    Install SSL certificate, then....

    Click->Admin->Settings->Integration Settings
    Locate section called NetBackup Adapter
    Change the values for the following 2 settings to use https:
    Panels Url
    Service Url
    Staying in the admin section go to Support->Configuration Check
    Change the values in the following 2 sections to use https by clicking the Edit button
    Web Root Address
    Public Web Service
    On the machine where the NSS adapter is installed (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Biomni\NetBackup Self Service Adapter 7.7.3)
    Go to MSBuild folder
    Right Click on COnfigDecrypt.bat and run as administrator. Answer yes to the question on the command window
    Go Back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Biomni\NetBackup Self Service Adapter 7.7.3
    Go to NetBackupAdapterPanels folder
    Edit web.config
    Locate name="DapiConnectionString", change the url to use https Save and close web.config
    Back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Biomni\NetBackup Self Service Adapter 7.7.3
    Go to NetbackupAdapterServices
    Edit web.config
    Locate name="DapiConnectionString", change the url to use https Save and close web.config
    Back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Biomni\NetBackup Self Service Adapter 7.7.3
    Go to MSBuild
    Right click on ConfigEncrypt.bat and run it as administrator. Answer yes to any questions

  • In NSS version 8.2., we introduced a wizard to make changing these URLs easier:

    If you run the NetBackupSelfServiceAdapterConfigurator.exe file…



    …you can now select an Edit URLs option:

    You can then change the core URLs for NSS to use the HTTPS URLs, instead of HTTP:



    If you have customised scripts within NSS or external scripts that call the NSS API, you may also need to also ensure that any URLs specified in your scripts have also been updated to use HTTPS.
