SCCM automation using silentclient.cmd 8.1.1
*** I tried to do a search in Vox for silentclient.cmd usage with 8.1.x version but the results were not what I'm looking for (the queries were pre 8.x) *** I configured the silentclient.cmd options file with Master server fingerprint and Authorization token (for fresh installs only) and provided that to our SCCM administrator. He is able to run the silent.cmd and NetBackup 8.1.1 gets installed and configured except for the certificate part. The trust between the client and master is successfully created. However, the certificate does not get deployed. I put the value of Authorization token for AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN variable in addition to other settings and save the file. The one thing that I have noticed is that the commands at the bottom of the files Echo does add the AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN to the %RESPFILENAME%. (adding the variable in %RESPFILENAME% didn't change anything though!) Has anyone got it working using silentclient.cmd along with certificates deployment?
Anyone know what a KeyStore Password file is?
If I want to install my own "3rd Party" certificate for the Web Management Console (aka "the Modern UI"), the documentation at https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/21733320-132525226-0/v133148073-132525226 says I need to generate a Java Keystore file and a "keystore password file". The Java Keystore isn't a big deal, Oracle's documentation on how to create a keystore, give it a password, and store a certificate in it is good enough. But I can't find anything that leads me to believe that a "keystore password file" is than the figment of the imaginations of several people at Veritas. Who else has installed a third party certificate for the 8.1.2 modern web UI? And how did you create the keystore password file?
