Access Control properties

Use the Access Control host properties in the NetBackup Administration Console to configure NetBackup Authentication and Authorization. The properties apply to currently selected master servers, media servers, and clients.

The following tabs may display:

  • Authentication Domain tab

    See Authentication Domain tab of the Access Control properties.

  • Authorization Service tab

    See Authorization Service tab of the Access Control properties.

  • Network Attributes

    See Network Attributes tab of the Access Control properties.

The tabs that display depend on whether the host that is selected is a master server, a media server, or a client.

The NetBackup Product Authentication and Authorization property displays, regardless of which tab is selected. It determines whether the local system uses access control and how the system uses it.

The NetBackup Product Authentication and Authorization property contains the following options.

Prohibited
