Client Verification Points
The following sections describe procedures for Windows client verification.
Verify the Credential for the Client
To check that the credential for the client is indeed for the correct client and comes from the correct domain, run bpnbat -whoami. For example:
bpnbat -whoami -cf "c:\program files\veritas\netbackup\var\vxss\credentials\win_client.min.com"
Name: win_client.min.com
Domain: NBU_Machines@win_master.min.com
Issued by: /CN=broker/OU=root@win_master.min.com/O=vx
Expiry Date: Nov 5 20:11:45 2004 GMT
Authentication method: VERITAS Private Security
Operation completed successfully.
Verify that the VxSS Authentication Client Libraries are Installed
Run bpnbat -login on the client to verify that the VxSS authentication client libraries are installed.
bpnbat -login
Authentication Broker: win_master
Authentication port[ Enter = default]:
Authentication type (NIS, NIS+, NT, vx, UNIXpwd): NT
Domain: ENTERPRISE
Name: Smith
Password:
Operation completed successfully.
This can also be done by looking at the Windows Add/Remove Programs.
Verify Correct Authentication Domains
In the Access Control host properties or by using regedit, check that any defined authentication domains for the client are correct. Make certain the domains are spelled correctly, and that the authentication brokers listed for each of the domains is valid for that domain type.
