Access Control properties

Use the Access Control host properties to configure Symantec Authentication and Authorization. The properties apply to currently selected master servers, media servers, and clients.

The following tabs may display:

The tabs that display depend on whether the host that is selected is a master server, a media server, or a client.

The Symantec Product Authentication and Authorization property displays, regardless of which tab is selected. It determines whether the local system uses access control and how the system uses it.

This tab is found within the Access Control properties. To locate the Access Control properties, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties. Navigate to a master server, media server, or client.

Choose one of the following selections for the Symantec Product Authentication and Authorization property:

Required

Select if the local system should accept requests only from remote systems that use Symantec authentication and authorization. Connections from remote systems that do not use Symantec authentication and authorization are rejected. Select Required if all systems are at NetBackup 5.0 or later and maximum security is required.

Prohibited

Select if the local system should reject connections from any remote system that uses Symantec authentication and authorization. Select Prohibited if the network is closed and maximum performance is required.

Automatic

Select if the local system should negotiate with the remote system on whether to use Symantec authentication and authorization. Select Automatic if the network contains mixed versions of NetBackup.
