If You Lock Yourself Out of NetBackup

It is possible to lock yourself out of the NetBackup Administration Console if Access Control is incorrectly configured.

If this occurs, use vi to read the bp.conf entries (UNIX) or regedit (Windows) to view the Windows registry in the following location:


   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\config

You'll look to see if he following entries are set correctly: AUTHORIZATION_SERVICE, AUTHENTICATION_DOMAIN, and USE_VXSS.

If the administrator does not wish to use NetBackup Access Control or does not have the VxSS libraries installed, make certain that the USE_VXSS entry is set to Prohibited, or is deleted entirely.
