Sslacceptcertfromserv

Use the sslacceptcertfromserv option to control whether the backup-archive client or the API application accept and trust the IBM Spectrum Protect server's Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) public certificate the first time they connect. This option applies only the first time that the backup-archive client or the API application connects to the IBM Spectrum Protect server. When the SSL public certificate is accepted, future changes to the certificate are not automatically accepted, and must be manually imported to the backup-archive client. You can use this option to connect only to an IBM Spectrum Protect server V8.1.2 and later levels, and V7.1.8 and later V7 levels.
