Configuring AD server for Universal shares and Instant Access
You can configure an AD server for Universal Shares and Instant Access from the NetBackup Flex Scale GUI. You can configure only one AD server with the type as Universal shares/Instant Access.
The AD server should already be configured before you use the Instant Access MSSQL.
To configure AD server for Universal Shares/Instant Access
- Go to the Appliance GUI > Settings > Directory Services management tab.
- Click Configure.
- Select Manage universal shares/Instant Access. Provide the AD server details. Click Save.
The administrator of the AD server should have Domain Admin privilege.
If the AD domain is sub domain, make sure that the domains can be trusted, or configure the AD domains with the type as Manage NetBackup services in NetBackup Flex Scale.
- Once the AD server configuration operation is successful, the AD server appears in the list with usage as Universal Share/Instant Access.
You can perform a test connection to validate the AD configuration. On the same page, there is an option to remove the AD configuration for Universal Shares.
Note:
If the AD server is not available and you want to access the Universal Shares, you can access the Universal Shares if a local user has Universal share user role. To add an Universal share user role, See Adding users.
You can also use RESTful APIs to configure AD servers for Universal Shares and Instant Access.
To configure AD servers for Universal Shares and Instant Access using RESTful APIs
- Configure an AD server for Universal Share with AD server details as payload.
POST/api/appliance/v1.0/settings/winbind
- Test the configured server's connections on the cluster with AD server domain name and password as payload.
POST /api/appliance/v1.0/settings/winbind/{server}/test - Get the successfully configured AD server domain names on the cluster.
GET /api/appliance/v1.0/settings/winbind
- Get the server details such as, server name, BIND DN, and FQDN with AD server domain name as payload.
GET /api/appliance/v1.0/settings/winbind/{server} - Delete, remove or unconfigure the configured AD servers from the cluster with AD server domain name as payload.
Delete /api/appliance/v1.0/settings/winbind/{server}
