About credential management in NetBackup

The Credential management node in the NetBackup web user interface provides the ability to centrally manage credentials that NetBackup uses.

In NetBackup 8.3, you can create and manage credentials for the following systems:

  • An external key management service (KMS) server

  • Microsoft SQL Server

Adding credentials comprises the following steps:

  • Add the basic credential properties (for example, credential name or tag)

  • Assign a category to the credential (for example: Microsoft SQL Server or External KMS server)

  • Assign the required permissions to access the credentials
