AUTHORIZATION_SERVICE option for NetBackup servers

This option defines the NetBackup Product Authorization Service that the local NetBackup server uses.

Table: AUTHORIZATION_SERVICE information

Usage

Description

Where to use

A master server that uses NetBackup product authorization must define an authorization service. If a media server does not define an authorization service, it uses the authorization service of the master server.

How to use

Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

Use the following format:

AUTHORIZATION_SERVICE = host [ port ]

The following variables are defined:

  • host is the host name or IP address of the authorization service.

  • port is the port number of the authorization service. The default is the standard port number for the authorization service.

This option should appear only once in the configuration file.

Equivalent Administration Console property

NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Click Master Servers or Media Servers > Double-click on server > Access Control > Authorization Service.

See Authorization Service tab of the Access Control properties.
