2FA
Starting with appliance release 3.2, NetBackup supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) domain users with the NetBackup Web UI.
Starting with appliance release 5.0, NetBackup appliances support two-factor authentication (2FA) for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) domain users with the NetBackup Appliance Web UI.
The nbasecadmin user or any user with the NetBackup Adminstrator role can configure 2FA for the NetBackup Web UI.
2FA configuration requires separate AD or LDAP configuration for NetBackup, even if AD or LDAP is already configured on the appliance.
Any user with the NetBackup Appliance administrator role can configure 2FA for the NetBackup Appliance Web UI. 2FA configuration requires configuring LDAP (with the directory type as OpenLDAP or ActiveDirectory) on the appliance.
For details about how to configure, enable or disable 2FA for the Appliance Web UI, see the following topic:
