Local fix
To enable SSL communication for the Recovery Agent, follow these steps : 1. In the server option file, specified the following options : ssltls12 yes ssltcpport <chosen SSL port> 2. Ensure the client is configured accordingly to use SSL as described in the manual : "Tivoli Storage Manager -> Clients -> Configuring backup-archive clients -> Configure the Tivoli Storage Manager client -> Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager client/server communication with Secure Sockets Layer" 3. Copy the following files from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Tivoli\TSM\api\gsk8\bin" to directory "c:\windows\system32" : cert256.arm dsmcert.crl dsmcert.kdb dsmcert.rdb dsmcert.sth 4. Located the file fb.opt in "c:\windows\system32" and add the following options: SSL yes ssldisablelegacytls yes -> this enables the use of ONLY TLS12 TCPPORT <chosen SSL port> -> same SSL port that was set on the server during step 1 5. Set the right same ssl port in the configuration files of the Recovery agent: C:\ProgramData\Tivoli\TSM\RecoveryAgent\mount\RecoveryAgent.conf [Recently used] TSM hostname=<server hostname> TSM port=<chosen SSL port> C:\ProgramData\Tivoli\TSM\RecoveryAgent\mount\RecoveryAgentDMNod es.conf [<server hostname>:<chosen SSL port>]
