NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

Add new credentials

1. On the Manage credentials page, select Add new credentials and click Next.
2. On the Manage credentials page, add the details such as Credential name, tag, description.
3. On the Host credentials tab, add Host username, Host password, SSH port, RSA key, and Share type, .

   • Ensure the SSH connection between MDSP media server and host is working. To ensure run ssh username@remote_host_name

   • • Run ssh-keyscan scan_host_name 2>/dev/null | grep ssh-rsa command to verify that it is listing the RSA key for remote scan host.

     • To get the RSA key for the remote scan host, use ssh-keyscan scan_host_name 2>/dev/null | grep ssh-rsa | awk '{print $3}' | base64 -d | sha256sum on linux MSDP media server.

       For example, the output is 33f697637ab3f0911c1d462d4bde8be3eec61a33403e8f6a88daecb415a31eef - where the RSA key is 33f697637ab3f0911c1d462d4bde8be3eec61a33403e8f6a88daecb415a31eef

       Note:

       Ensure that you remove the character - from RSA key when you copy.

4. For share type SMB, enter additional details such as:

   • Active directory domain

     It is a domain to which storage server has joined for the authenticating mounts on scan host.

   • Active directory group

     It is a group name which is available in active directory domain.

   • Active directory user

     It is an active directory user added in selected active directory group.

   • Password
