Linux

Specify the port in the /etc/Acronis/Policies/Agent.config file. Restart the Acronis_agent daemon.

Configuring the port in a bootable environment

While creating Acronis bootable media, you have the option to pre-configure the network port that

will be used by the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Bootable Agent. The choice is available between:

 The default port (9876)

 The currently used port

 New port (enter the port number)

If a port has not been pre-configured, the agent uses the default port number.

SSL certificates

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates for secure

authentication.

SSL certificates for the components can be one of the two types:

 Self-signed certificates, such as certificates automatically generated during the installation of an

Acronis component.

 Non-self-signed certificates, such as certificates issued by a third-party Certificate Authority

(CA)—for example, by a public CA such as VeriSign

or Thawte™—or by your organization's CA.

Certificate path

All Acronis components installed on a machine, when acting as a server application, use an SSL

certificate called the server certificate.

In Windows, the certificate path and the server certificate's file name are specified in the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\Encryption\Server. The default path is

%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\Agent.

To ensure reliability, the certificate is stored in Windows Certificate Store at the following location:

Certificates (Local Computer)\Acronis Trusted Certificates Cache.

For self-signed certificates, the certificate thumbprint (also known as fingerprint or hash) is used for

future host identification: if a client has previously connected to a server by using a self-signed

certificate and tries to establish connection again, the server checks whether the certificate's

thumbprint is the same as the one used before.

In case the list of certificates for the local machine is not displayed in the Certificates console, you

can use the following procedure.

To open the list of a machine's certificates

1. Click Start, then click Run, and then type: mmc

2. In the console, on the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.

3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, click Add.

4. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, double-click Certificates.

5. Click Computer account, and then click Next.

6. Click Local computer, and then click Finish.
