Enabling Client Certificate Authentication on the CommServe Computer

You can enable client certificate authentication on the CommServe computer.

Procedure

1. On the CommCell Console ribbon, click the Home tab, and then click Control Panel.

2. In the CommCell area, click Certificate Administration.

3. Select Yes for Force per-client certificate authentication on CommServe, and then click OK.

   Note

   • In Feature Release 11.22 and later, the Force per-client certificate authentication on CommServe option is hidden by default. To show this option, you need to enable the bDisplayForceClientCertificateAuthenticationOption additional setting. For more information, see Displaying the Force Per-Client Certificate Authentication Option.

   • If, in Feature Release 11.21 or earlier, you selected Yes for the Force per-client certificate authentication on CommServe option, the option will be visible even if you don't enable the bDisplayForceClientCertificateAuthenticationOption additional setting.

4. Close the Control Panel.

5. In the CommCell Browser, right-click your CommServe instance's name, and then click All Tasks > Push Network Configuration.

6. To push the network configuration for the CommServe host, click Continue, and then click OK.

7. To put your changes into effect immediately, or if the host you are logged on to is an upgraded CommServe host, restart the services as follows:

   1. Log on to the CommServe host using an administrator account.

   2. Click Start > All Programs > Commvault > Process Manager.

   3. Click the Services tab, right-click All Services, and then click Restart.
