NBAC complete security

The NBAC complete security method uses the authentication broker to provide credentials to the primary server, media server, and client. This environment is very similar to the NBAC primary, media server, and graphical user interface model. The main differences are that all hosts participating in the NetBackup environment are reliably identified using credentials. And non-root administrators have the ability to manage the NetBackup clients based on configurable levels of access. Note that user identities can exist in global repositories such as Active Directory in Windows or NIS in UNIX. Identities can also exist in local repositories (UNIX password, local Windows domain) on those hosts supporting an authentication broker.

The following figure shows an example of the NBAC complete configuration.
