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.
