Specify Credentials (Linux DS-Client)

You can click [...] beside any User Name box to browse for an encrypted key file (one that contains the user credentials). If the file is valid, you must enter the correct key to unlock the file. Opens the "Enter unlock key" dialog box.

Network Credentials:

• "Network Credential Information"

• "‘sudo’ as an Alternate User"

Database Credentials:

• "MySQL / PgSQL"

• "DB2 Server"

• "Oracle Server"

Ask for NAS API credentials:

• "NAS"

Network Credential Information
User Name	Enter a valid User Name.
Password / Passphrase	Enter the corresponding password (or passphrase). • Passphrase is for UNIX-SSH only, when you select or specify a Private Key File. The passphrase will be used for public key authentication.
Private Key File (UNIX-SSH only)	This feature allows you to backup/restore using SSH public-key authentication. 1. If no private key file is specified: • If a default private key file is found on the DS-Client machine, try public-key authentication first. If that fails, try password authentication. • If no default key file is found, try password authentication only. 2. If a private key file is specified for the backup set: • The SSH connection will use public-key authentication only.

‘sudo’ as an Alternate User (UNIX-SSH)	• These credentials will be used to access the data. • For security reasons, you might not want to use a super user for remote login to a source machine. • Linux DS-Client will login to the source machine as a regular user, and then use ‘sudo’ to execute a shell as an alternate user with higher access permissions. • Linux DS-Client will login to the source machine with the supplied network credentials (or DS-User login user if none are supplied). When accessing data, Linux DS-Client will use ‘sudo’ to execute a shell as this alternate user.
User Name	Enter the User Name of the alternate user on the source machine • This is the user that DS-Client will use to perform the command (e.g. ‘root’). • For this to work, the user that connects to the source machine must be granted permission on that machine to perform ‘sudo’.
Password	Enter the password of the user that connects to the source machine.

MySQL / PgSQL	Database Credential Information
User Name	Enter a valid database user name. For MySQL database backup sets, you can specify credentials by referring to a login path. For more information, see "Specifying credentials using logon paths (Linux DS-Client)".
Password	Enter the corresponding password
Port Number	Enter the port that will be used to connect to the database. • Use the default, unless you know for certain the database is configured to allow backup / restore on a different port.

DB2 Server	Database Credential Information
User Name	Enter a valid database User Name on the DB2 database server you want to back up.
Password	Enter the corresponding password
Node Name	Enter the local alias of the target DB2 server node. This is the name on the DS-Client computer that is used to identify that node. • This is only required for remote DB2 server backup and restore (i.e. if the DB2 is not on the same machine as the DS-Client).
Port Number	Enter the TCP/IP port number of the DB2 Server Database Manager instance.
DB2 Client Instance	Enter the local DB2 instance name installed on the DS-Client computer.

Oracle Server	Database Credential Information
User Name	Enter a valid database User Name. • This user must have the SYSDBA privilege, otherwise you will get an ora-1031 error.
Password	Enter the corresponding password.
Service Name	Enter the Service Name of the Oracle database you wish to backup. • The Service Name is the TNS alias that is specified in the “tnsnames.ora” file on your Oracle client. • The DS-Client computer must be running the Oracle client with Recovery Manager. For Oracle 12c databases: • If you enter the service name defined at CDB-level, you will be able to browse the entire container database (Root and all pluggable databases). • If you enter the service name defined at PDB-level, you will be able to browse that specific pluggable database only.

NAS	NAS API Credential Information
NAS Type	Specifies the NAS device type, vendor or specific model. Currently supported types: • NetApp • NetApp Cluster
API Protocol	Specifies the protocol for accessing the API. Commonly used protocols are HTTP or HTTPS. • The specific protocol must be enabled on the NAS device.
Port Number	Specifies the port number for accessing the API. • This port must be open on the NAS device.
User Name	Specifies the User Name for a user on the NAS device. • This user requires permissions to execute the API commands on the NAS device and usually needs to be a member of the Administrators group.
Password	Specifies the corresponding password for the NAS user.
Mount-point	Specifies the mount point that DS-Client will use to mount the NAS share during the backup/restore.
