User identity in the audit report
The audit report lists the identity of the user who performed a specific action. The identity includes the user name, the domain, and the domain type of the authenticated user.
The user name that is captured in the audit report, depends on the following:
By default, only a root or an administrator user can perform NetBackup operations through a command-line interface as well as through the NetBackup Administration Console. The root or the administrator are hence audited with root or administrator user name.
When either Enhanced Auditing or NBAC is enabled, the actual name of the user who performed NetBackup operations through the command-line interface or through the NetBackup Administration Console are recorded in the audit report.
For certain actions that are performed through web services, the user cannot be identified. For example: nbcertcmd -getCertificate. NetBackup attributes these actions to <anonymous> user. The audit report shows <anonymous> as the user for such actions or commands.
All tasks are audited as root or administrator when neither Enhanced Auditing nor NBAC is enabled.
