4. Indicate if the current computer is the primary server by answering the following question when it appears:

   Is this host the primary server? [y,n]

5. Verify or enter the correct computer name when prompted by the following message:

   Installing NetBackup Enterprise Server version: 10.4
   If this machine will be using a different network interface than 
   the default (name), the name of the preferred interface 
   should be used as the configured server name. If this machine 
   will be part of a cluster, the virtual name should be used as the 
   configured server name.
   The domainname of your server appears to be "domain". You 
   may choose to use this domainname in your configured NetBackup 
   server name, or simply use "name" as the configured 
   NetBackup server name.
   Would you like to use "name" as the configured NetBackup server
   name of this machine? [y, n] (y)

   Note:

   Incorrect information for the domain name results in failures during the configuration of Authentication Broker and NetBackup Access Controls. To correct this problem, use the bpnbaz -configureauth command to configure Authentication Broker. More information about the bpnbaz -configureauth command is available.

8. After you confirm the installation location for the binaries, the installer fetches the certificate authority certificate details.

   Getting CA certificate mode from the primary server.
   Depending on the network, this action may take a few minutes. To 
   continue without setting up secure communication, press Ctrl+C.

   Be aware if you press Ctrl+C, this action requires you to rerun the installation or continue with the installation without the required security components. If these security components are absent, backups and restores fail.

9. The installer then looks to see what certificate authority the local system is configured to use. The options for certificate authority on the local system are: NetBackup Certificate Authority, external certificate authority, or indeterminate.

   The installer then uses a combination of the primary server certificate authority mode and the local system certificate authority configuration to determine the next steps.

10. If the installer prompts you for a certificate file path, your environment uses an external certificate authority. Proceed to step 11.

    If the installer prompts you for fingerprint information, your environment uses a NetBackup Certificate Authority. Proceed to step 17.

    If the installer cannot determine the configuration of the certificate authority on the primary server, you are presented with two options:

    • Skip the security configuration and configure your certificate authority after installation. More information about post-installation certificate authority configuration is available:

      https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100044300

      For more information, see the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide and refer to the chapter on external CA and external certificates.

      Proceed to step 21.

    • Exit the installation and restart the installation once you configure your certificate authority.

11. Provide the external certificate authority information at the prompts shown:

    Enter the certificate file path or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/cert_chain.pem
    
    Enter the trust store location or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem
    
    Enter the private key path or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/private/key.pem
    
    Enter the passphrase file path or q to skip security configuration 
    (default: NONE): /usr/eca/private/passphrase.txt

    Note:

    Be aware the passphrase file path is optional.

12. When prompted, provide the required information for the CRL configuration:

    Should a CRL be honored for the external certificate?
    1) Use the CRL defined in the certificate.
    2) Use the CRL from a file path.
    3) Do not use a CRL.
    q) skip security configuration
    CRL option (1): 

13. (Conditional) If you specify 2, you must enter the path to the CRL location:

    Enter the CRL location path or q to skip security configuration: 
    /usr/eca/crl

14. The installer echoes the configuration information you entered and attempts to retrieve details for the external certificate:

    External CA values entered:
    Certificate file path:  /usr/eca/cert_chain.pem
    Trust store file path:  /usr/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem
    Private key file path:  /usr/eca/private/key.pem
     Passphrase file path:  /usr/eca/private/passphrase.txt
          CRL check level:  Use the CRL from a file path.
        CRL location path:  /usr/eca/crl

    3) Abort the installation.
    Default option (2): 

    Proceed to step 21.

17. When prompted, review the fingerprint information and confirm that it is accurate.

    Primary server [primary_name] reports the following CA Certificate 
    fingerprints:
    SHA-256 Fingerprint: [sha-256_fingerprint],
    SHA-1 Fingerprint: [sha-1_fingerprint].
    Is this correct?

    After you confirm the fingerprint information, the installer stores the certificate authority certificate details.
