Mapping a Windows account to a standard SQL Server user ID

If you use standard SQL Server security, the NetBackup Client Service must be started with a Windows account. That account needs to be associated with a standard SQL Server user ID. The account also requires sufficient administrative privileges to perform backups and restores.

Note:

If your site does not place SQL Server security restrictions on the right to back up databases, you do not need to perform this procedure.

To associate a Windows user ID with a SQL Server user ID

  1. Log on to your Windows host with the Windows account that you intend to use for the NetBackup Client Service.

  2. Start the NetBackup Database Extension GUI and go to the DBMS login parameters window. Type the standard SQL Server logon name and password into the edit boxes provided. The values that you supply are encrypted in a registry entry that is associated with the current Windows account.

  3. To set the logon account for the NetBackup Client Service, follow the instructions to authorize scheduled operations.
