Setting up an Azure AD login with NetVault

Beginning with release 12.3, NetVault Backup includes the option for users to log in using their Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) credentials. Before you can use this option, complete the following prerequisites:

1
Registering NetVault Backup on the Azure portal
2
Setting authentication for Azure AD users
3
Restricting an application to a set of users
4
Configuring Azure AD in NetVault Backup

Registering NetVault Backup on the Azure portal

Before a user can use Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) credentials to log in to NetVault Backup, NetVault Backup must be registered on the Azure portal.

To register NetVault on the Azure portal:
1
Sign in to the Azure portal.
2
In the left-navigation pane of the Azure portal, click Azure Active Directory.
3
Under Manage, click App registrations.
4
On the App registrations page, click New registration.
5
On the Create page, enter the following details about the NetVault registration:

Detail
Description

Name

Enter a name for the application; for example, NetVault.

Application type

Select Web.

Redirect URI

For Web App/API applications, provide the base URL for the app; for example, http://localhost:8443 if the web app is running on your local machine. Users would use this URL to sign in to a web client application.

NOTE: After signing out from the NetVault Server UI and signing in again from the same page results in the error “The reply url specified in the request does not match the reply urls configured for the application.” To avoid this issue, sign in from the base URL you provided during registration.

Click Register.
Azure AD assigns a unique Application ID to your application for that tenant.

To set authentication for Azure AD users with App registrations:
1
In the Azure AD user interface, navigate to App registrations.
2
Select NetVault as the application that you registered.
