Create Read Only User
HI Tabriz
I agree with Nicolai that NBAC is a beast and should be avoided. What are you trying to achive though? What do you want to allow (or stop) your user from doing? (I'd suggest RBAC, but of course this is not possible for the version you are using).
As for auth.conf, the following should help you craft an entry for a particular user - there are more details on this in one of the Server Admin guides
The following is a sample content of the auth.conf file on a Windows NetBackup master server:
Windows-domain\BKADMIN ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL
Windows-domain\BKOPS ADMIN=AM JBP=ENDUSER+BU
* ADMIN=JBP JBP=ENDUSER+BUThe above sample auth.conf file allows:
- Windows-domain\BKADMIN user to fully manage the NetBackup environment
- Windows-domain\BKOPS user to monitor NetBackup Activity Monitor and, perform backup and restore tasks
- All other users to use BAR GUI and, perform backup and restore tasks
The auth.conf file can be configured with specific Windows domain users with ADMIN and JBP keywords (this assumes the system can authenticate using AD, otherwise use local system users).
ADMIN keyword specifies the NetBackup administration applications and the related administrator capabilities.
JBP keyword specifies the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore client application (BAR GUI) and the related capabilities.
The table below shows the NetBackup Java Authorisation ADMIN keywords.
