Add AD or LDAP domains
Role-based access in the NetBackup web UI supports domain users of Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Before you can add domain users to RBAC roles, 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 (that you specify in the -m option in step 3) has the required rights to query the AD or the LDAP server.
- Log on to the master server as root or administrator.
- Run the vssat command.
For 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 msadFor example, to add an AD domain:
vssat addldapdomain -d nbudomain -s ldap://domaincontroller.example.com -u "cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com" -g "cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com" -m "CN=TestUser,OU=Users,DC=example,DC=com" -t msadNote that if
domaincontroller.example.com, then authentication cannot be completed. - Verify that the specified AD or LDAP domain was successfully added.
vssat validateprpl -p username -d ldap:DomainName -b localhost:1556:nbatd
For more information on the vssat command and more of its options, see the NetBackup Command Reference Guide.
