Bocada Cloud data collection requires a user with View Application Settings to connect to the NetWorker REST API.
DELL NetWorker Documentation
To provision this user, please follow the DELL documentation for steps to create a NetWorker REST API user.
The above documentation details the steps to perform what is needed, but omits a permission required by Bocada: View Application Settings.
Steps
From the NetWorker Management Console (NMC)
- Create a user, e.g. REST-USR (Setup -> Users and Roles -> Users)
- Create a password and set it to Never Expire. You will enter this username and password into Bocada.
- Create a group, e.g. REST API (Setup -> Users and Roles -> Groups)
- Assign REST-USR user to the REST API group
From the NetWorker Server
- Navigate to User Groups
- Edit Properties of the Users group
- Add REST API Group to the External roles of the Users group
- Assign Privilege: View Application Settings
* This was not included in the DELL documentation:
You are now ready to enter the username and password for the REST-USR created in the first step into the appropriate Bocada Cloud fields.
