Add and enable the IDP configuration
Before proceeding with the following steps, ensure that you have downloaded the IDP metadata XML file and saved it on the NetBackup master server.
To add and enable an IDP configuration
- Log on to the master server as root or administrator.
- Run the following command.
nbidpcmd -ac -n IDP configuration name -mxp IDP XML metadata file [-t SAML2] [-e true | false] [-u IDP user field] [-g IDP user group field] [-M Master Server]
Replace the variables as described below:
IDP configuration name is a unique name provided to the IDP configuration.
IDP XML metadata file is the path to the XML metadata file, which contains the configuration details of the IDP in Base64URL-encoded format.
-e true | false enables or disables the IDP configuration. An IDP configuration must be added and enabled, otherwise users cannot sign in with the Single Sign-On (SSO) option. Even though you can add multiple IDP configurations on a NetBackup master server, only one IDP configuration can be enabled at a time.
IDP user field and IDP user group field are the SAML attribute names, which are mapped to the userPrincipalName and the memberOf attributes of the AD or LDAP.
Note:
Ensure that the SAML attribute names are defined in the format of username@domainname and (CN=group name, DC=domainname) respectively.
Master Server is the host name or IP address of master server to which you want to add or modify the IDP configuration. The NetBackup master server where you run the command is selected by default.
Fore example: nbidpcmd -ac -n veritas_configuration -mxp file.xml -t SAML2 -e true -u username -g group-name -M master_server.abc.com
