$SSL_DIR/CA/crt.pem # CA certificate that signed all certificates. $SSL_DIR/CA/private/key.pem # CA private key (on server only) $SSL_DIR/me/crt.pem # public certificate of the host $SSL_DIR/me/private/key.pem # private key of the host $SSL_DIR/me/fingerprint # fingerprint of my certificate $SSL_DIR/remote/HOSTNAME/fingerprint # fingerprint of the HOSTNAME certificate On the HOSTNAME host, $SSL_DIR/remote/HOSTNAME is a symbolic link to ../me.

In amanda.conf and amanda-client.conf. ssl-dir The directoty where amanda store all the certificates. A good value is ~/amanda-ssl. ssl-check-certificate-host Check the peer hostname match the certificate host name. ssl-check-fingerprint Check the fingerprint of the certificate is the same as the fingerprint we already have for that host. ssl-check-host Do the bsd check, dns name of peer IP is the hostname we connect to.
