 this question.
 
 
 Can i enable TLS without 'client' (fd) certificate, but only 'server'
 (dir) certificates, as usually done by SSL/TLS apps/protocols (https,
 ldaps, ...)?

No, since from an SSL perspective, all of the bacula daemons end up acting as
both client and server.  The director connects to the fd, the fd connects to
the sd, etc.

 I think that the 'hash/password' is for me a sufficient
 security/identification measue, and i don't want to generate
 and deploy certificates for all the client.
 
 Speaking pratically: a setup like:
 
 bacula-dir.conf:
 
   Director {
   TLS Enable = yes
   TLS Required = yes
   TLS Verify Peer = no
   TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/ssl/certs/LNFFVG.pem
   TLS Certificate = /etc/ssl/certs/LNFFVGTrinity.pem
   TLS Key = /etc/ssl/private/LNFFVGTrinity.pem
   [...other non-TLS conf...]
 
 
 bacula-fd.conf
 
   Director {
   TLS Enable = yes
   TLS Required = yes
   TLS Verify Peer = yes
   TLS CA Certificate File = /etc/ssl/certs/LNFFVG.pem
   [...other non-TLS conf...]

I am pretty use you need a TLS Certificate on each client.
