after upgrading to Veeam Backup and Replication 13.0.1.180 we also reconfigured a few settings, so I don't know if this is specific to Veeam 13.
1. When switching from user-based to certificate-based infrastructure component authentication using the Veeam Deployment Kit the former selected user is still listed in the infrastructure component credentials dialog thus making it unable to remove the user from the datacenter credentials because Veeam thinks the user is still in use. We currently use a dummy account as workaround.
2. The secuity analyzer marks "Saved credentials should follow password length and complexity recommendations" as "Not implemented" when using linux ssh credentials and the option "Elevate account privileges automatically" is selected, no matter how complex the password is. According to the offical documentation the following is needed for all credentials to pass:
- 12 characters minimum
- 1 upper case character
- 1 lower case character
- 1 numeric character
- 1 special character
All our windows and linux credentials satisfy this requirement. After looking into the Job.BestPracticesAnalyzer.log I noticed that only our linux accounts were listed as not satisfying. After removing the option "Elevate account privileges automatically" for these account it passed but of course then the application aware backups for those systems are failing.
Nothing critical but it would be nice if this could be fixed with a future update
