First-time sign in to the NetBackup web UI
After the installation of NetBackup, an administrator must sign into the NetBackup web UI from a web browser and create RBAC roles for users. A role gives a user permissions and access to the NetBackup environment through the web UI, based on the user's role in your organization. Some users have access to the web UI by default.
See Authorized users.
If you do not have access to root or to administrator credentials you can use the bpnbaz -AddRBACPrincipal command to add an administrator user.
To sign in to a NetBackup primary server using the NetBackup web UI
- Open a web browser and go to the following URL.
https://primaryserver/webui/login
The primaryserver is the host name or IP address of the NetBackup primary server that you want to sign in to.
If you are not able to access the web UI, refer to Support and additional configuration.
- Enter the administrator credentials and click Sign in.
For this type of user
Use this format
Example
Local user
username
jane_doe
Windows user
DOMAIN\username
WINDOWS\jane_doe
UNIX user
username@domain
john_doe@unix
- On the left, select Security > RBAC.
- You can give users access to the NetBackup web UI in one of the following ways:
Create roles for all users that require access to NetBackup.
Delegate the task of creating roles to another user.
Create a role that has permissions to add RBAC roles. This user can then create roles for all users that require access to the NetBackup web UI.
See Configuring RBAC.
Root or administrator access is no longer needed for the web UI once you have delegated one or more users with permissions to create RBAC roles.
Refer to the following information for help with accessing the web UI.
Ensure that you are an authorized user.
See Authorized users.
For details on supported browsers for the web UI, see the NetBackup Software Compatibility List.
If port 443 is blocked or in use, you can configure and use a custom port.
If you want to use an external certificate with the web browser, see the following topic.
