NetBackup™ Flex Scale Administrator's Guide

Changing user password

NetBackup Flex Scale lets you change the user password.

Considerations when you want to change the user password:

  • You can only change your password. You are not permitted to change any other user's password.

  • A local user can change the password from the NetBackup Flex Scale UI.

  • The passwords of AD/LDAP users are managed by respective AD/LDAP servers and cannot be changed from NetBackup Flex Scale UI.

  • The password of users with Appliance administrator role can be changed using the user information drop-down at the top-right corner of the NetBackup Flex Scale UI.

  • The password of users with Appliance administrator role can also be changed by navigating to Settings > User management. Navigate to the user row and click on the vertical ellipsis button from the right side of the UI and then select Change password..

  • The password of users who have no role or have only NetBackup administrator role or only Universal share user role can be changed by logging on to the NetBackup Flex Scale UI. As the user does not have the Appliance administrator role, the user is directed to the Change password tab of the NetBackup Flex Scale UI where the password can be changed.

  • To change the maintenance user password, sign-in with the maintenance user credentials to the NetBackup Flex Scale UI. Click Change password option.

  • Passwords can also be changed using respective REST APIs.
