Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Authorize users of one server to access another server

You must explicitly authorize users of one server to access another server. Add users of a server to the auth.conf file on the server that they are authorized to access. In this example, authorize users of Server_1 to access Server_2. This task must be performed on Server_2.

Note:

Add only the users that don't have administrative privileges on one server to the auth.conf file on another server.

On UNIX, the auth.conf file is located at /usr/openv/java.

On Windows, create the auth.conf file from the auth.conf.win.template file that is located at C:\Program Files\Veritas\Java.

See Authorization file (auth.conf) characteristics.

To authorize users of one server to access another server

  • In the auth.conf file on Server_2, add users of Server_1 authorized to access Server_2.

    If Server_1 is a Windows host, add the following line in the auth.conf file:

    For example, username ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL

    If Server_1 is a UNIX host, add the following line in the auth.conf file:

    For example, root ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL
