Add AD or LDAP domains
NetBackup RBAC in the NetBackup web UI supports domain users of Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Before you can add access rules for domain users, you must add the AD or the LDAP domain. A domain also must be added before you can configure that domain for smart card authentication.
You can use the POST /security/domains/vxat API or the vssat command to configure domains.
To add an AD or an LDAP domain with the vssat command
- Ensure that the user account (in the -m option) has the required rights to query the AD or the LDAP server.
- Log on to the master server as root or administrator.
- Run the following command.
vssat addldapdomain -d DomainName -s server_URL -u user_base_DN -g group_base_DN -t rfc2307 | msad -m admin_user_DNFor example, to add an LDAP domain:
vssat addldapdomain -d nbudomain -s ldap://example.com -u "OU=Users,DC=example,DC=com" -g "OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com" -m "CN=TestUser,OU=Users,DC=example,DC=com" -t msad - Verify that the specified AD or LDAP domain was successfully added.
