Login Banner Configuration properties
Use the Login Banner Configuration properties to configure a banner screen that appears each time a user logs into the NetBackup Administration Console or the Backup, Archive, and Restore client console. The Login Banner Configuration properties can be configured to make it mandatory for the user to acknowledge the login banner screen before the user can access the console.
A different login banner can be configured for any master server, media server, or client.
Figure: Login Banner Configuration dialog box shows example banner text for a media server.
The first time that the NetBackup Administration Console is launched, the Login Banner Configuration properties are not configured so no banner appears to the user. The Login Banner Configuration host properties must be configured in order for the banner to appear.
The user can change the server once they log into the console. (On the File menu, click .) If the banner is configured for the remote server, the banner appears on the remote server as well.
If a user opens a new console or window from the existing console, the banner does not appear for the new window. (On the File menu, click the option or the option.)

If the user chooses the option, the screen is closed. |
