Edit, reissue, or delete an API key (Administrators)

As an API key administrator, you can edit API key details and reissue or delete API keys.

Note:

Starting with NetBackup 10.5, if multi-person authorization is enabled for API key operations, a ticket is generated. After the multi-person authorization ticket is approved, editing, reissuing, or deleting an API key is performed. For NetBackup releases earlier than 10.5, if multi-person authorization is enabled, you cannot perform API key operations.

Edit the expiration date or description for an API key

Note:

For SAML users, avoid selecting an expiration date for the API key that occurs after the SAML session expires. If the date occurs after the session expires, this action can introduce a security risk with that API key.

You can edit the description of an API key or change the expiration date of an active API key.

To edit the expiration date or description for an API key

On the left, select Security > Access keys > API keys.
Select the check box for the API key that you want to edit.
Select Actions > Edit.
Note the current expiration date for the key and extend the date as wanted.
Make any wanted changes to the description.
Select Save.

Reissue an API key after it expires

Note:

When an API key expires you can reissue the API key. This action creates a new API key for the user.

To reissue an API key

On the left, select Security > Access keys > API keys.
Select the check box for the API key that you want to edit.
Select the Actions menu. Then select Reissue > Reissue.

Delete an API key

You can delete an API key to remove access for the user or when the key is no longer used. The key is permanently deleted, meaning that the associated user can no longer use that key for authentication.

To delete an API key

On the left, select Security > Access keys > API keys.
Locate and select the API key that you want to delete.
Select the Actions menu. Then select Delete > Delete.
