About the Security Management utilities
The node is visible only to administrators on the NetBackup master server. (An exception to this is NetBackup Access Control administrators. They do not see the node.)
Security Management contains the following utilities to view login activity, manage host ID-based certificates, and configure secure communications in the domain.
Use Security Events to view the login details about the current administrator and the user-initiated changes that are made to certificates, tokens, hosts, and security configurations. You can also view details about host connections.
The utility contains the following tabs:
The Access History tab displays details about the login activities that the current user has performed. The details include successful and unsuccessful login attempts and information about the hosts that the user has tried to access.
See About login activity.
The Accessed from field displays the component that the user has used to login: or NetBackup API.
The Audit Events tab displays audit events according to the audit categories that you have selected, such as Certificate, Host, Security Configuration and so on.
