NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Managing multifactor authentication on a primary or a media server instance

NetBackup primary and media server application instances support multifactor authentication for local, Active Directory (AD), and LDAP users. Multifactor authentication uses time-based one-time passwords to provide secure authentication. Each user can configure multifactor authentication individually, or the appadmin user can enforce multifactor authentication for all users.
