About API keys
A NetBackup API key is a pre-authenticated token that identifies a NetBackup user to NetBackup RESTful APIs. The user can use the API key in an API request header when a NetBackup API requires authentication. API keys can be created for authenticated NetBackup users (groups are not supported). A specific API key is only created one time and cannot be recreated. Each API key has a unique key value and API key tag. NetBackup audits operations that are performed with that key with the full identity of the user.
The following actions are available for administrators and API key users.
Administrators with the applicable role or RBAC permissions can manage API keys for all users. These roles are the Administrator or the Security Administrator or a role with RBAC permissions for API keys.
In NetBackup 9.0, administrators can view key details and delete keys for SAML users, but not add keys.
An authenticated NetBackup user can add and manage their own API key in NetBackup web UI. If a user does not have access to the web UI, they can use the NetBackup APIs to add or manage a key.
See User identity in the audit report.
See the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide for information on using API keys with the bpnbat command.
