About the appliance login banner

The NetBackup appliance provides the ability to set a text banner that appears when a user attempts to log on to the appliance. 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.

The NetBackup Administration Console also supports a login banner. By default, when you set a login banner for the appliance, the banner is not used by NetBackup. However, during the appliance login banner configuration you can choose to propagate the banner to NetBackup so that it appears whenever a user attempts to log into the NetBackup Administration Console.

Table: Appliance interfaces that support the login banner describes the appliance interfaces that support the login banner. Once a login banner is set, it appears in each of the appliance interfaces that support it, such as the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu and SSH. However, the login banner can be optionally turned on and off for the NetBackup Administration Console.

Interface

Notes

NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu

The login banner appears before a user attempts to log on the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.

IPMI console session

The login banner appears in an IPMI console session once a user name is specified, but before a password is requested.

NetBackup Appliance Web Console

The login banner appears every time the appliance is accessed through a web browser. The login banner can only be dismissed by clicking the Agree button.

NetBackup Administration Console (optional)

The login banner appears whenever a user attempts to log on to the appliance using the NetBackup Administration Console. This feature uses the pre-existing login banner functionality that is a part of NetBackup. For more information, refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

Use Settings > Notifications > LoginBanner in the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu to configure the login banner. Refer to the NetBackup Appliance Commands Reference Guide for more information.

Or configure the login banner from the NetBackup Appliance Web Console by following the path Settings > Notification > Login Banner. Refer to the NetBackup appliance Administrator's Guide for more information.
