Authentication of Backup Server with Replication Server

Overview

You can prevent unauthorized backup server from replicating to your replication server by protecting the replication server with a password. Once a password is set in the replication server, backup servers will not be able to replicate to the replication server unless the backup servers authenticate themselves by providing the password.

How to get here in the StoreGrid Web Console?
 In the top menu of Backup Server, select: "Server Admin -> Server Management -> Authenticate Backup Server for Replication" page.

Authenticate Backup Server

Backup Server Authentication is an optional security feature. By default, a Backup Server can replicate to and restore from a Replication Server. However, if a password is set in the Replication Server, then the backup server should first authenticate with the replication server with that password before it can start replicating its backup data to the replication server

You can configure the password in the Replication Server from the "Server Admin -> Server Settings" page. The Backup Server can then authenticate with the Replication Server through the "Server Admin -> Server Management -> Authenticate Backup Server for Replication" page with the same password which was configured in the Replication Server
