Authentication

Verify that the following authentication requirements are met:

•
NDMP Service: On the FluidFS Server, ensure that the NDMP services are started.
•
User account for NDMP backups and restores: Assign a password to the default NDMP user (backup_user) or create a user on the filer using either the FluidFS Group Manager or CLI. Consult the relevant filer documentation for instructions on creating a user account.
