Validate credentials of PostgreSQL instance

To validate PotgreSQL instance credentials

You can validate a specific or multiple instance's credentials.

  1. On the left, click Workloads > PostgreSQL, then click the Instances tab.
  2. Locate and select one or more PostgreSQL instances.
  3. Click Manage Credentials > Select from existing credentials.
  4. Click Next and select the credentials that you want to use for this instance.
  5. Click Next > Close.

Note:

NetBackup verifies the current credentials for the selected PostgreSQL instance.

If the credentials are not valid, NetBackup indicates Invalid under Credentials.

For auto-discovered cluster instances, assign credentials for PostgreSQL primary or standby node instance.
