Lanfreessl
Use the lanfreessl option to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to provide secure client and Storage Agent communications. This option is deprecated if you are connecting to an IBM Spectrum Protect™ server V8.1.2 and later.
Supported Clients
This option is supported on all clients, except for Mac OS X clients.
Options File
Place this option in the client options file. You cannot set this option in the GUI or on the command line.
Parameters
- No
- Specifies that the backup-archive client does not use SSL when communicating with the Storage Agent. No is the default.
- Yes
- Specifies that the backup-archive client enables SSL when communicating with the Storage Agent. To enable SSL, specify lanfreessl=yes and change the value of the lanfreetcpport option. Changing the value of the lanfreetcpport option is necessary because the IBM Spectrum Protect Storage Agent is typically set up to listen for SSL connections on a separate port.
