install_path
\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpauthsync -methods
-methods_allow /dev/null -clients cat
This disables authentication on the client.
2. On the master server, remove the entry for cat from the
install_path
\NetBackup\var\auth\methods_allow.txt
file.
3. Synchronize the methods files on all servers by executing the following on
the master server (all on one line):
install_path
\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpauthsync -methods
-servers
Authentication is no longer performed when communication with this
client.
Example 3 - Add a Client
Assume that all systems below are configured for authentication, except for the
client named cat.
To add authentication for cat:
1. On the master server, copy the
methods_allow.txt
to a temporary file.
For example,
C:\tmp\ma.txt.
2. Add an entry for the new client to the temporary file:
vopie : cat
3. Synchronize the methods files on the servers and the new client by
executing the following on the master server (all on one line):
install_path
\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpauthsync -vopie
-methods -methods_allow C:\tmp\ma.txt -servers -clients
