About deleting users
When you delete an LDAP, Active Directory or Kerberos user, ensure that you delete the user from the NetBackup Appliance. If you delete a user from the LDAP, Active Directory, or Kerberos before deleting it from the NetBackup Appliance it results in an error condition.
Note:
If the user is removed from the LDAP directory, Active Directory, or Kerberos (and not removed from appliance), though the user is listed as LDAP, AD, or Kerberos authorized user, the user will not be able to log in. So, these users poses no security threat.
For example, you want to delete user John Doe from the LDAP server and the NetBackup Appliance. You delete the user entry for John Doe from your LDAP server. Then you log into the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu and to remove a user using the LDAP > Users Remove John Doe command. The appliance does not recognize the user and displays the following error:
The user name that you have entered is not valid. Enter a valid user name.
