NetBackup™ for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Edit or delete a credential rule

You can edit a credential rule if you want to change the criteria by which NetBackup applies a credential rule to instances. You can delete a credential rule if it is no longer needed.

Edit a credential rule

To edit a credential rule

  1. Select the Credential rules tab.
  2. Locate and select the credential rule.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. Make any wanted changes to the rule.
  5. (Optional) To see the instances that match the rule criteria, select the Preview button. See the following topic for details.

    See Preview a credential rule.

  6. Select Next.
  7. Make any wanted changes to the credentials that you want to use for the rule.
  8. Follow the prompts in the wizard to finish editing the rule.

    After you save the changes, any unregistered or any newly discovered instances that meet the rule criteria are registered with the associated credential in the rule. If you have the necessary RBAC permissions, you can view the instances that were registered in the audit messages. (Go to Security > Security events. Then select the Audit events tab.)

Delete a credential rule

Note:

If you delete a rule, any newly discovered instances that match the rule criteria are not automatically registered.
