Terminate Operations when the Agent Detects Expired SSL Certificates

Backup proxy systems can be configured to obtain valid SSL Certificates when communicating with VMware ESX Host systems. By default, the agent continues processing VM-based operations (for example, auto-populate, back up, and recovery operations) when it detects bad or expired SSL Certificates. This behavior is designed to allow uninterrupted protection of the VMs in your environment.

If this behavior does not fulfill the needs of your organization, you can modify how the agent behaves when it detects bad and expired SSL Certificates on the VMware ESX Host system.

To terminate operations when the agent detects expired SSL Certificates

1. Open Registry Editor and access the registry key that follows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCserve Backup\ClientAgent\Parameters
   

2. Create a registry key value SSLCertificateVerify of type DWORD.

   Set the key value of SSLCertificateVerify to 1.

3. Close Registry Editor.
