Adding an Authorized User

To enable enhanced authorization, create a list of authorized users.

  To create a list of authorized users

1. Expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Server (or Media Servers) > Selected master or media server > Authorization.
2. Click Add. The Add User dialog appears.
3. Type the user name that will have access to this server. To allow any user, type: *
4. Type the domain or group name to which the user belongs. To allow any domain group, type: *
5. Select whether the domain is local or on a network.
6. Type the host name that will be accessing the selected master or media server. To allow any host, type: *
7. Select to allow users onto the machine to administrate NetBackup who are not system administrators or logged on as UNIX root.
8. Click OK.

Upon the addition of the first user to the list of authorized users, the authorize.txt is created. After the creation of authorize.txt, the server requires authorization from any NetBackup Administration Console that attempts remote administration.
