About the Security Management utilities

The NetBackup Administration Console > Security Management node is visible only to administrators on the NetBackup primary server.

Security Management contains the utilities to view login activity, manage host ID-based certificates, and configure secure communications in the domain.

  • Use Security Events to view the login details about the current administrator and the user-initiated changes that are made to certificates, tokens, hosts, and security configurations. You can also view details about host connections.

  • Use the Host Management node to carry out NetBackup host operations, such as adding or approving host ID to host name mappings, resetting host, or adding comments for a host.

    See Hosts tab.

  • Use the Certificate Management node to carry out operations specific to certificates such as viewing, revoking, or reissuing.

    See Using the Certificate Management utility to issue and deploy host ID-based certificates.

  • Use the Global Security Settings node to configure security settings like enable insecure communication, disaster recovery package passphrase, certificate deployment level and so on.

    See About global security settings.
