NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Configure multifactor authentication for your user account

For enhanced security, you can configure multifactor authentication for your user account. You must first install and configure authenticator application on your smart device that provides you with the one-time password.

Configuring multifactor authentication in NetBackup does not require internet connectivity on your smart device.

If the NetBackup administrator has enforced multifactor authentication in the NetBackup domain, you must configure it for your user account for successful sign-in.

See Disable multifactor authentication for your user account.

To configure multifactor authentication for your user account

  1. On the top right, click the profile icon and click Configure multifactor authentication.
  2. On the Configure multifactor authentication screen, click Configure.
  3. On the next screen, follow the given steps.

    Install and configure authenticator application on your smart device. It generates one-time password and sends it on your smart device.

    Supported authenticator applications

  4. Scan the QR code with the authenticator application or enter the key manually.
  5. Enter the one-time password that you see in the authenticator application on your smart device.
  6. Select Configure.

    At the time of next sign-in, you need to enter the one-time password along with the username and password.
