NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

WebSocket servers

These permissions manage the NetBackup WebSocket Service (NBWSS), which allows applications in the cloud to communicate with a NetBackupmaster server that is behind a firewall. NBWSS uses the WebSocket protocol to create a secure connection to the application's server in the cloud. On that connection, the application can interact with NetBackup by invoking REST APIs and can receive notifications from NetBackup.

The operations for WebSocket servers are only available from the NetBackup APIs and the NetBackup Administration Console.
