Add an Identity

Some features in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus require credentials to access your resources. For example, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus connects to Oracle servers as the local operating system user specified during registration in order to perform tasks like cataloging, data protection, and data restore. User names and passwords for your resources can be added and edited through the Identity pane. Then when utilizing a feature in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus that requires credentials to access a resource, select Use existing user, and select an identity from the drop-down menu.

To add a new identity:

  1. From the navigation menu, expand Accounts, then click Identities.
  2. Click Add Add icon . The Identity Properties pane displays.
  3. In the Name field, enter a meaningful name to help identify the identity.
  4. In the Username and Password fields, enter the user name and password associated with a resource, such as a SQL or Oracle server.
  5. Click Save. The identity appears in the Identity table and can be selected when utilizing a feature that requires credentials to access a resource through the Use existing user option.
