Add a smart card user to a role (non-SAML, without AD/LDAP)

This topic describes how to add a smart card user to a role. In this case the user is a non-SAML user and there is no AD or no LDAP domain association or mapping. User groups are not supported with this type of configuration.

This type of user uses the following sign-in method: Sign in with smart card.

To add a smart card user to a role (non-SAML, without AD/LDAP)

  1. On the left, click Security > RBAC.
  2. Click the Roles tab.
  3. Click on the role name, then click on the Users tab.
  4. (Conditional) From the Sign-in type list, select Smart card user.

    Note:

    The Sign-in type list is available only if there is an IDP configuration available for NetBackup. The smart card user option in the Sign-in type list is available when the smart card configuration is done without AD or LDAP domain mapping.

  5. Enter the username that you want to add.

    Provide the exact common name (CN) or the universal principal name (UPN) that is available in the certificate.

  6. Click Add to list.
  7. Users that are assigned to the role must sign out and sign in again before each user's permissions are updated.
