Configure NetBackup for Single Sign-On (SSO)
This section provides steps to set up trust and exchange configuration information between the IDP and the NetBackup primary server. Before proceeding with the steps, ensure that the following prerequisites are met in your environment:
An IDP is set up and deployed in your environment.
The IDP is configured to authenticate domain users of Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Table: Steps to configure NetBackup for Single Sign-On
Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
1. | Download the IDP metadata XML file | Download and save the IDP metadata XML file from the IDP. SAML metadata that is stored in XML files is used to share configuration information between the IDP and the NetBackup primary server. The IDP metadata XML file is used to add the IDP configuration to the NetBackup primary server. |
2. | Configure the SAML keystore, and add and enable the IDP configuration on the NetBackup primary server | See Configure the SAML KeyStore. See Configure the SAML keystore and add and enable the IDP configuration. |
3. | Download the service provider (SP) metadata XML file | The NetBackup primary server is the SP in the NetBackup environment. You can access the SP metadata XML file from the NetBackup primary server by entering the following URL in your browser: https://masterserver/netbackup/sso/saml2/metadata Where masterserver is the IP address or host name of the NetBackup primary server. |
4. | Enroll the NetBackup primary server as a service provider (SP) with the IDP | |
5. | Add SAML users and the SAML groups that use SSO to the necessary RBAC roles | SAML users and SAML user groups are available in RBAC only if the IDP is configured and enabled on the NetBackup primary server. For steps on adding RBAC roles, see the following topic. |
After the initial setup, you can choose to enable, update, disable, or delete the IDP configuration.
See Manage an IDP configuration.
After the initial setup, you can choose to update, renew, or delete the NetBackup CA SAML keystore . You can also configure and manage the ECA SAML keystore.
