Managing Security for Backup Networks

the media server, and host
client
as the client. An
Oracle Secure Backup user
belonging to a
class
that has the
manage
devices
class right attempts to run
lsvol
-L
library_name
in
obtool
. If the attempt is made on client, then it fails with an
illegal
request
from
non-trusted
host
error. The same command succeeds
when attempted on
admin
or
media
.
You can turn off these trust checks by setting the Oracle Secure Backup security policy
trustedhosts
to
off
. This disables the constraints placed on non-trusted hosts.
Host Authentication and Communication
By default, Oracle Secure Backup uses the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol to
establish a secure communication channel between hosts in an
administrative
domain
. Each host has an X.509
certificate
known as an
identity certificate
. This
identity certificate is signed by a
Certification Authority (CA)
and uniquely identifies
this host within the administrative domain. The identity certificate is required for
authenticated SSL connections.

Identity Certificates and Public Key Cryptography
An
identity certificate
has both a body and a
digital signature
. The contents of a
certificate
include the following:
■
A
public key
■
The identity of the host
■
What the host is authorized to do
Every host in the domain, including the
administrative server
, has a
private key
known only to that host that is stored with the host's identity certificate. This private
key corresponds to a public key that is made available to other hosts in the
administrative domain
.
Any host in the domain can use a public key to send an encrypted message to another
host. But only the host with the corresponding private key can decrypt the message. A
host can use its private key to attach a digital signature to the message. The host
Note:
Commands that originate from the Oracle Secure Backup
Web
tool
are always routed to the administrative server for processing, and
are not affected by the
trustedhosts
policy.
Note:
Currently, the
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP)
does not support an SSL connection to a
filer
