methods_deny.txt

The methods_deny.txt file defines the authentication methods that NetBackup servers and clients cannot use.

NetBackup checks this file only if the methods_allow.txt file does not have a matching entry for the host and method. If a matching entry is found in methods_deny.txt the method is not allowed and authentication is not used. Otherwise, the method is used and authentication proceeds.

Example methods_deny.txt File

The default file contains only the following entry:

ALL : ALL

This means that all methods are denied for all hosts, unless it is specified otherwise in the methods_allow.txt file.
