Configure multifactor authentication for your user account when it is enforced in the domain

After multifactor authentication is enforced in the domain, you must configure it for your user account if you have not already configured it. If you do not configure multifactor authentication for your account after the enforcement, you cannot sign-in.

To configure multifactor authentication after the enforcement

  1. 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.

  2. Go to the NetBackup sign-in screen.
  3. Enter the Username and Password.

    See Sign in to the NetBackup web UI.

  4. Select Sign in. The Configure multifactor authentication screen is displayed.
  5. On the next screen, follow the given steps.

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

    Supported authenticator applications

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

    Successful configuration takes you back to the sign-in screen.

    Enter the username, password, and one-time password for successful sign-in.
