Configuring NetBackup Access Control (NBAC)

Note:

The manual authentication and authorization client installs need to be done for older media servers and client hosts. NetBackup has the authentication clients and authorization clients that are embedded in them. No authentication servers and authorization servers are needed on media servers and clients.

For information on the NBAC configuration sequence, see the following procedure.

Configuring NetBackup Access Control (NBAC)

  1. Configure the primary server for NetBackup Access Control (NBAC).

    Note:

    The primary server can be installed in a standalone mode or in a highly available configuration on a cluster.

  2. Configure media servers for NBAC.

  3. Configure clients for NBAC.
