NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Viewing the NetBackup Flex Scale STIG status

You can use the NetBackup Flex Scale web interface or the REST APIs to view the STIG status.

Viewing the status using the REST APIs

You can find the RESTful APIs at https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161/swagger/infra/v1.0/ where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server and API gateway during the cluster configuration.

Note:

If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

If you are using IPv6 addresses, use the following URL syntax:

https://[ManagementServerIP]:14161/swagger/infra/v1.0

Use the following API to view the STIG status:

GET /api/appliance/v1.0/security/stig
Viewing the status in the web interface
  1. Use any one of the following options to log in using the user account that you created:

    • Use a user account with both Appliance Administrator and NetBackup Administrator role, or a user account with only an Appliance administrator role to log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale web interface https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN/webui where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server and API gateway during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Cluster Management > Cluster settings > Security management.

    • Use a user account with an Appliance Administrator role to log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161 where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server and API gateway during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Settings > Security management.

      Note:

      If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

  2. Click the STIG tab.

    The STIG status for all the cluster nodes is displayed:

    • Enabled: The STIG option was successfully enabled for the node.

    • Not Enabled: The STIG option is not enabled for the node.

    • Unknown: The node status cannot not be retrieved because the node is stopped, shut down, or not reachable.
