Web login requirements for nbcertcmd command options
The nbcertcmd command can be used to perform all of the operations that are associated with host-ID based certificates. However, some of the nbcertcmd options require that the user first logs in to the NetBackup Web Management Service (nbwmc).
To log in to the NetBackup Web Management Service, run the following command:
bpnbat -login -logintype WEB
The account must have NetBackup administrator privileges.
The following shows an example WEB login:
bpnbat -login -LoginType WEB Authentication Broker: server.domain.com Authentication port [0 is default]: 0 Authentication type (NIS, NISPLUS, WINDOWS, vx, unixpwd, ldap): unixpwd Domain: server.domain.com Login Name: root Password: ******** Operation completed successfully.
The bpnbat -login -logintype AT command creates a session with the NetBackup Authentication Broker (nbatd). (The NetBackup Authentication Broker may not always be the master server.)
Note:
An nbatd session is not necessary to run the nbcertcmd commands.
If neither WEB nor AT is indicated, bpnbat -login creates a login session for both nbatd and nbwmc. (This is true if the Authentication Broker is located on the master server.)
Note:
The authentication broker for a WEB login is the master server as the nbwmc service runs only on the master server.
The procedures in the following topics note whether or not a web login is required.
The NetBackup Commands Reference Guide lists the privilege details that each nbcertcmd option requires. This guide also contains detailed information about running the bpnbat command.
