NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Managing the login banner

You can create a customized text banner that appears when you sign in to NetBackup Flex Scale UI, system console, or NetBackup UI. You can use the login banner to communicate various kinds of messages to users. Typical uses for the login banner include legal notices, warning messages, and company policy information.

Note:

Ensure that you change the banner from the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI or the NetBackup Flex Scale web UI. If you change the banner in the NetBackup UI, the changes are not reflected in NetBackup Flex Scale.

To set a login banner:

  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 > User 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 > User 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 Manage sign-in banner.

    If a banner is already set, the Manage sign-in banner page displays the current banner.

  3. On the Manage sign-in banner page, click Edit.
  4. (Optional) Under Sign-in banner heading, enter the banner heading. The heading can be a maximum of 250 characters.
  5. Under Sign in banner text, enter the text for the banner message. The message can be a maximum of 4000 characters.
  6. To review the changes, click Preview.
  7. To confirm the changes, click Save.
