Veritas NetBackup™ DataStore SDK Programmer's Guide for XBSA 1.1.0

Authentication

In NetBackup XBSA Version 1.1.0, all authentication and security is handled by NetBackup based on the logon user. The logon user of the session that created the object determines the object ownership. To query or restore an object, the logon user doing the request must be the same user who created the object or a root administrator.

Note:

NetBackup XBSA Version 1.1.0 does not validate the objectOwner and SecurityToken parameters of BSAInit(). The objectOwner fields, bsa_objectOwner and app_objectOwner, can be specified and are stored with an object, but the logon user who created the object determines the official ownership of an object. This user, or a root admin, are the only users who can query or restore this object.
