NetWorker: Bootstrap backup fails when saving the authentication database. Error:
`nsrauthcasm' exited with code 1 Can't encode arguments

Error from the Server db Backup action log:

save: save of 'bootstrap' to server '<NetWorker server>' failed.

Authentication database files mismatch. The authentication data is composed of two files: authcdb.mv.db and authcdb.lock. In this situation, the authentication data location has a copy of authcdb.h2.db which is being updated instead of authcdb.mv.db.

Re-create the authentication database. 

Linux NetWorker Server:

1. Open an elevated prompt on the NetWorker server.
2. Stop NetWorker services: nsr_shutdown or systemctl stop networker
3. Rename the authc folder: mv /nsr/authc /nsr/authc_$(date -I)
4. Reconfigure AUTHC: /opt/nsr/authc-server/scripts/authc_configure.sh
5. Start NetWorker: systemctl start networker

Windows NetWorker server:

AUTHC can only be configured during the installation process. NetWorker must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

Perform the following steps:
 

1. Uninstall NetWorker from Programs and Features.
2. Rename the authc-server folder. Default location: 'C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\authc-server'
3. Reinstall NetWorker over the existing file structure. A new authc-server directory is created.

If the NetWorker server's local AUTHC database is used to process authentication for the NetWorker Management Console (NMC) or NetWorker Web User Interface: NetWorker: How To Identify Which Server is the Authentication Server Used By NMC and NWUI

• Local NetWorker user accounts that were created through the NMC, the users must be re-created.
• Active Directory (AD) or LDAP integrations must be readded to NetWorker: NetWorker: How To Set up AD/LDAP Authentication

If AUTHC self-signed certificates were replaced with CA signed-certificates, the CA certificates must be reimported to the new AUTHC path.
