Windows Client Agent Configuration
Chapter 3: Adding and Configuring the Client Agents 25
Configure Password Security
The client agent service uses the node (machine) user name and assigned
password to log on to the CA ARCserve Backup network.
To set password security for the client agent
1.
Start the Backup Manager, and then right-click the machine name. A pop-up
menu appears.
2.
Choose Security from the pop-up menu to open the Security dialog. The User
Name field should already contain the client agent’s assigned user name.
3.
Enter the password for the client agent.
Note:
The user name and password should identify a valid user in the local
machine’s database or in the domain database, if the workstation is a
member of a domain.
Also, when you specify the account to use, it may be necessary to distinguish
between two accounts that use the same name (such as Administrator) by
indicating where Windows can find each account. You can identify the client
object’s location by using tree name formats when identifying the user
name. For example, for a domain named NTDEV containing a workstation
named ENGINEER, the respective administrators are:
NTDEV\Administrator
ENGINEER\Administrator
