Client Verification Points

For UNIX client machines, follow the same procedures as those listed in Client Verification Points.

For Windows clients:

Verify the Credential for the Windows 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 "e:\program files\veritas\netbackup\var\vxss\credentials\win_master.min.com"
   Name: win_master.min.com
   Domain: NBU_Machines@unix_master.min.com
   Issued by: /CN=broker/OU=root@unix_master.min.com/O=vx
   Expiry Date: Nov 13 19:50:50 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. For example:

   bpnbat -login
   Authentication Broker: unix_master.min.com
   Authentication port[ Enter = default]:
   Authentication type (NIS, NIS+, NT, vx, UNIXpwd): NIS
   Domain: min.com
   Name: Smith
   Password:
   Operation completed successfully.

Verifying the Windows Authentication Broker

Make sure that the Windows Authentication broker either has mutual trust with the main UNIX Authentication broker, or is using the UNIX broker as its root broker. See the VERITAS Security Services Installation Guide on the VxSS installation CD for more information regarding these scenarios.
