NetBackup Administration Console logging process flow

The console can run directly on a supported Java-capable UNIX computer or on a Windows computer where the NetBackup Administration Console is installed.

The NetBackup Administration Console logging process flow is as follows:

The following steps describe the NetBackup Administration Console login process:

  1. The user initiates a login request to the NetBackup Administration Console. The credentials are sent to bpjava-msvc over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) using the Server Security Certificate.

  2. The bpjava-msvc process authenticates the token through nbatd, which reads the hashed security tokens on the server.

  3. The following steps describe the process with the session certificate:

    • The bpjava-msvc process sends a response to the console login with a session token and a fingerprint of the session certificate.

    • The bpjava-msvc process initiates the appropriate bpjava-*usvc process and the session certificate and token are passed to one of the following processes:

      • bpjava-susvc for the NetBackup Administration Console

      • bjava-usvc for the Backup, Archive, and Restore (BAR) interface

  4. Various calls are made between the NetBackup Administration Console and nbsl, bpjava-*usvc, and nbvault (if configured) to populate the interface with the appropriate contents.
