At the time of authentication and validation of the Fenix token, the message below may occur due to access permission to the NetBackup API:


"The host name that you have specified to connect to the NetBackup web server is not present in the NetBackup web server certificate."

Step 1: Access the Installation Directory

cd /var/global/wsl/config

Step 2: Create the allowedlist.properties File

Create a file named allowedlist.properties in the config directory with the following content:

#Properties file to allow additional valid HOST and X-FORWARDED-HOST header values
#Tue Jan 25 2022
host.headers=backup-server-ip
x.forwarded.host.headers=backup-server-ip
origin.headers=backup-server-ip

Make sure to replace backup-server-ip with the actual IP address of your backup server.

Step 3: Restart the Service

After creating the file, restart the NetBackup Web Management Console service.

On Windows:

NetBackup Web Management Console

On Linux:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc stop && /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbwmc start
