Add an API key or view API key details
The API key administrator can manage the keys that are associated with all NetBackup users.
In NetBackup 9.0, administrators can only add API keys for non-SAML users.
Only one API key can be associated with a specific user at a time. If a user requires a new API key, the user or administrator must delete the key for that user.
To add an API key for a non-SAML user
- On the left, select Security > API keys.
- In the upper-right corner, click Add.
- Enter a User name for which you want to create the API key.
- Indicate how long you want the API key to be valid, from today's date.
NetBackup calculates the expiration date and displays it below.
- Click Add.
- To copy the API key, click Copy to clipboard.
Store this key in a safe place until you can deliver the key to the user. After you click Close, the key cannot be retrieved again. If this API key replaces a previous key for the user, the user must update any scripts, etc. to reflect the new API key.
- Click Close.
An API key administrator can view the API key details that are associated with all NetBackup users.
To view API key details
- On the left, select Security > API keys.
- Locate the API key that you want to view.
- From the Actions menu, click Edit.
