NBU Java console 6.5 as non admin

Is it possible to run the NBU Java console 6.5 as non administrator on a Windows XP desktop connecting to a Sloaris server?

We have the need to limit the rights on users desktops to non local admin users for various security reasons not related to NBU, for some reason when we do so the java console will no longer work, is there a workaround or documented way to bypass the need for local admin rights?

Yes, it is possible. Non-root

Yes, it is possible.

Non-root user must exist at OS level. This user name and access levels must be added to auth.conf (/usr/openv/java/auth.conf) on the master server.

See Authorizing NetBackup-Java users in  NBU 6.5 Admin Guide I for UNIX/Linux http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH52801

Yes you can do this just by editing  in the auth.conf file which is present in the below location.

usr/openv/java/auth.conf

 

In this file you can give admin rights to the user as shown in the below example.

root ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL

user1 ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL

user2 ADMIN=JBP+BPM+DM+MM+REP+AM JBP=ALL

user3 ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL

 

user4 ADMIN=JBP+AM JBP=ALL

 

user5 ADMIN=JBP+REP+AM JBP=ALL

 

* ADMIN=JBP JBP=ENDUSER+BU+ARC

Warm regards,

Rohit
