Add an API key
You can create an API key to authenticate your NetBackup user account when using NetBackup RESTful APIs.
To add an API key
- For non-SAML users, if your API key has expired you must first delete that key.
- On the top right, click the profile icon and click Add API key.
- (Non-SAML users) Indicate how long you want the API key to be valid, from today's date.
NetBackup calculates the expiration date and displays it below.
- (SAML users) After NetBackup validates the token from the SAML session, then the expiration date for the API key can be determined.
- Click Add.
- To copy the API key, click Copy to clipboard.
Store this key in a safe place. After you click Close, the key cannot be retrieved again. If this API key replaces a previous key for your account, you must update any scripts, etc. to reflect the new API key.
