This section will provide you details on how to configure a storage endpoints connection string to utilize the Atmos Adapter. Please refer to the StoragePoint Reference Guide for information on managing Storage Endpoints.
On the Application Management page, click Storage and Backup Endpoints.
Click Create New Endpoint or click the name of an existing storage endpoint that you want to edit.
Click the Show link next to the Advanced Adapter Settings to see the additional fields.
Setting Value/Options |

Name Enter the unique name of the Storage or Backup Endpoint. |
Type Backup this endpoint will be in the Backup Services dropdown on the profile page. The selection is locked down when saving. See Backup Services Settings in the Reference Guide for more information on how Backup Endpoints are used. |
Status
Offline (Read Only) A storage endpoint can be configured, but not made available for externalizing content. The BLOBs already on the endpoint are still read only. |

Yes Externalized content BLOBs are placed in folders. If Folder Content in BLOB Store is Yes then you can select a date/time folder scheme from the dropdown. YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM is the default. |
|
Yes Externalized content BLOBs are compressed. |
AES (128 bit) 128 bit AES encryption will be applied to externalized BLOBs. AES (256 bit) 256 bit AES encryption will be applied to externalized BLOBs. |

Click the Show Connection String checkbox to edit the connection string. Otherwise, fill in the connection fields shown for the adapter selected. Notice that the connection string parameters are name/value pairs separated by semi-colons when editing using the Show Connection String option.
NOTE: Adapter parameters are not case-sensitive. |
NOTE: You should always use a passphrase when generating encryption keys. The passphrase gives you a means of re-creating keys should they become unrecoverable or corrupt. It is very important to remember or record the passphrase outside of Metalogix StoragePoint. Otherwise, encrypted content could become irretrievable in the event of a database failure. |
If you choose to externalize content you should test the storage profile settings by clicking the Test Storage Settings button. A message under the button will indicate whether or not the test was successful. If the test fails the message will include the error that was the root cause of the failure.
NOTE: When testing access to an endpoint from within Central Administration, the Identity of the Application Pool hosting the Central Administration Site is the one that is being used for the test. If there are different Identities used for other Web Applications in the Farm then those identities will also need access but cannot be tested from within Central Admin itself. See BLOB Store Security and Metalogix StoragePoint Required Privileges in the Metalogix StoragePoint Reference Guide. |
In order for the StoragePoint EMC Atmos adapter to use SSL to communicate with Atmos, the Atmos instances certificate must be added to the SharePoint certificate store. The following steps describe how to do this:
1.Click Start->Run. Enter mmc.exe and press Enter.
2.On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-In.
3.Click Certificates on the left, then click Add. A new window opens; select Computer Account and click Next.
4.Select Local Computer and click Finish.
5.Click OK.
6.Expand Certificates (Local Computer)->Trusted Root Certification Authorities->Certificates. Find the root certificate. For AT&T this is the Verisign "G5" certificate:
7.Open the certificate. On the Details tab, click Copy To File
8.The Certificate Export Wizard opens. Click Next. The default "DER" format is fine. Save to the desktop as something like verisign-G5-root.cer. Click Next.
9.Click Finish to complete the export. Click OK on the message. Click OK to close the certificate window.
10.Open the SharePoint Central Administration. Click Security from the navigation on the left. Select Manage Trust from the General Security section.
11.You will probably only see one certificate here, "local". Click "New."
12.Give it a name like Verisign G5 Root. Pick the file you exported to your desktop. Leave "Provide Trust Relationship" blank.
13.Click OK.
The Use SSL option can now be configured and used with the StoragePoint EMC Atmos adapter.
