I am trying to create a usable XML file using the Veeam Configurator, as detailed here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=40
I'm trying to send the backup to a Veeam Cloud Connect repository, but it keeps existing with Error Code 50 saying it cannot contact the cloud connect provider. A powershell test-netconnection proves it's not the machine or the firewall etc.
It's also not working for me even if I use the U: and P: toggles when deploying the configuration. I suspect that really it requires you to add the password for the Veeam Cloud Connect account in an encrypted Base64 as per this: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... r=40#input (I suspect there's no way around this).
However, no explanation whatsoever is given on how to perform these steps:
I can google as well as the next tech, but when all it returns is from StackOverflow and Java forums then I begin to think I'll have to write some sort of Java scriptlet just to accomplish this. To be honest that is outside of my skillset, and I have to imagine it's outside the skillset of most Veeam techs. I'm happy to learn stuff, but if it's that complicated why not offer a page that does this for your customers? Or a script? We see in the Windows Agent support pages there's no issue offering a powershell script to people.To encrypt user credentials, you must perform the following actions:
Encrypt the password. The user name is not encrypted; you must provide it as a text string encoded in the Base64 format.
You must encrypt the user password in the following way:
Encode the password as a byte array in the UTF-8 format.
Encrypt the byte array with one of supported encryption methods.
Convert the encrypted byte array to the Base64 format.
Forgive me if there are other posts that address this, I did search for them and found one, but the solution is never offered: veeam-agent-for-windows-f33/encrypted-c ... 43081.html
Thanks,
