User authentication with Enhanced Auditing
By default, NetBackup does not mandate user authentication. However, when NetBackup is configured for Enhanced Auditing, user authentication from master server is mandatory.
The user should use the bpnbat -login command for authentication.
The log in process for UNIX and Windows users varies.
UNIX
Running the bpnbat -login command is mandatory for all users except the root user.
Windows
The administrator logs in automatically through the Single Sign On (SSO) option.
A standard user also logs in through the SSO option. But if the SSO fails, the user must run the bpnbat -login command. The user can also run the bpnbat -GetBrokerCert command to establish a trust with the server.
