Resolution

Perform the following checks to resolve this issue:

  1. Telnet the phoenix.druva.com at port 443.

  2. Open the browser and click Secure > Certificate and check whether the certificate is issued by USERTrust RSA or third party to *.druva.com

  3. Review the firewall settings on the server in which Phoenix Agent is installed.
    The traffic to *.druva.com must be excluded from the proxy or firewall server.

  4. Review the TCP packet using the Microsoft Network Monitoring tool.

  5. Make sure that the date and time of the server match the current time in that Timezone.

  6. Verify for any "Web Filter" or "SSL decryption" in the environment.

  7. For Linux, we can run the following commands to ensure certificate is valid and connection is established.

    echo | openssl s_client -connect phoenix.druva.com:443 -brief
        echo | openssl s_client -connect backup-phoenix.druva.com:443 -brief


    Unsuccessful connection will throw an error while successful should give the output as follows:

    CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
        Protocol version: TLSv1.2
        Ciphersuite: ECDHE-RSA-AES128-XXX-SHA256
        Peer certificate: CN = *.druva.com
        Hash used: SHA512
        Supported Elliptic Curve Point Formats: uncompressed:ansiX962_compressed_prime:ansiX962_compressed_char2
        Server Temp Key: ECDH, P-256, 256 bits
        DONE

❗ Important

Druva recommends to white list "*.druva.com" for port 443 on the firewall.
