Important |
Mind the following:
|
When you add a Veeam Backup for AWS appliance, Veeam Backup & Replication saves in the configuration database a thumbprint of the TLS certificate installed on the appliance. When Veeam Backup & Replication connect to the appliance, it uses the saved thumbprint to verify the appliance identity and to avoid the man-in-the-middle attack. For details on managing TLS Certificates, see the TLS Certificates section in the Veeam Backup for AWS User Guide.
If the certificate installed on the Veeam Backup for AWS appliance is not trusted, Veeam Backup & Replication displays a warning. In the warning window, you can do the following:
- Click View to view detailed information about the certificate.
- Click Continue to trust the certificate.
- Click Cancel if you do not trust the certificate.
Veeam Backup & Replication will display an error message, and you will not be able to connect to the appliance.
Note |
If you update a certificate on an appliance, this appliance becomes unavailable in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. To make the appliance available again, acknowledge the new certificate at the Credentials step of the Edit Veeam Backup for AWS Appliance wizard. For more information on how to open the wizard, see Editing Appliance Settings. |
