Manage Application Access Users

The Manage Application Access Users page allows you to create and manage local authenticated users for use with the OpenStorage (OST) and Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) capabilities.

OpenStorage (OST) and Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN)

After you create OST or RMAN user credentials, enter them in the backup application to authenticate on the media (OST) or Oracle (RMAN) server.

Note: When using OST Automatic Image Replication (AIR), the remote user credentials specified on the source system must match the local user credentials on the target (remote) system.

To access the Manage Application Access Users page, on the System page, click the Application Access Users tab.
