Tiering connection to Azure Blob from IBM TSM - TLS Error

Question

on my azure blob, i have enabled minimum TLS 1.2

We are enabling a tiering connection from IBM Spectrum Protect Linux Server to Azure Blob storage . We are able to see the key exchange is happening. But end up with the following error.

The IBM Spectrum Protect server cannot connect to the cloud service

provider due to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) error.  Explanation: The connection to the cloud service provider failed because certificate

files are missing. System action: The command fails. User response: Ensure that the necessary certificate files are imported into the

keystore location. The logistics of importing the certificates are

determined by your client application. Then, reissue the command

An invalid certificate chain was found

@MS Techie Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

The error message you're seeing suggests that the certificate files required for the connection to the Azure Blob storage are missing from the IBM Spectrum Protect server's keystore location.

To resolve this issue, you'll need to import the necessary certificate files into the keystore location. The logistics of importing the certificates will depend on the client application you're using.

You can try the following steps:

1. Download the Azure Storage certificate from the Azure portal.
2. Import the certificate into the IBM Spectrum Protect server's keystore location.
3. Reissue the command to connect to the Azure Blob storage.

Please let me know if the above helps. If not, we can look into other troubleshooting options. Thank you!
