Step 4. Specify Access Permissions

At the Permissions step of the wizard, specify access permissions for the temporary NFS share.

To be able to read data from the temporary NFS share, you must set up access permissions for specific hosts, IP masks or users with Kerberos authentication:

  • If you selected to mount the NFS share on the original application backup repository host, the access permissions are populated automatically based on the initial application backup repository configuration. You can edit them or add new permissions.
  • If you selected an alternative application backup repository host at the Destination step of the wizard, the default access permission settings are set to deny all. To connect to the NFS share, you must set up new access permissions.

For more information about requirements and limitations for access permissions and Kerberos authentication, see Considerations and Limitations.

Important

Any new data written to the temporary NFS share mounted for the restore operation will be deleted after the recovery session is over.

To grant access permissions to a host or hosts under the IP mask:

  1. Click Add next to the Grant permissions to access the NFS share table.
  2. In the Add host or IP mask window, specify the hosts to whom you want to grant access permissions on the NFS share:
  1. In the Host or IP mask field, enter the host DNS name or the subnet mask.
  2. From the Permission list, select Read or Read/Write to define the scope of permissions given to the host.

Step 4. Specify Access Permissions

To configure permissions based on the standard Windows Kerberos authentication protocol:

  1. Check the Enable Kerberos authentication check box.
  2. In the Kerberos authentication window, specify the user accounts to whom you want to grant access permissions on the NFS share:
  1. Click Add next to the Grant permissions to access the NFS share table.
  2. In the Username field, enter a user name for the account that you want to add. Specify the user name in the username@domain format. You can also click Browse to select an existing user account.
  3. From the Permission list, select Read or Read/Write to define the scope of permissions given to the user account.
