HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Installation and licensing guide (March 2008)

A prerequisite for a reliable reverse DNS lookup is a secure DNS server. You must
prevent physical access and log on to all unauthorized personnel.
By configuring users with IPs instead of hostnames, you can avoid some DNS related
validation problems, but such configuration is more difficult to maintain.
Requirement
The enhanced validation does not automatically grant access for certain internal
connections. Therefore, when this validation is used, a new user must be added for
each of the following:
• It is required to add the user SYSTEM, NT AUTHORITY, client for each client
where a ZDB Agent and VSSBAR are installed. Note that if Inet on a certain
client is configured to use a specific account, this account must have already been
configured. For more information, refer to the online Help index: “strict hostname
checking”.
For detailed information on user configuration, refer to the online Help index:
“configuring, users”.
Enabling the feature
To enable the strict hostname checking, set the StrictSecurityFlags flag
0x0003 in the global options file.
For more information about the global options file, refer to the online Help.
Start backup specification user right
For general information about the Application Recovery Manager users and user
rights, refer to the online Help index: “users”.
The Start backup specification user right alone does not enable a user to
use the Backup context in the GUI. The user is allowed to start a backup specification
from the command line by using the omnib with the -datalist option.
NOTE:
By combining the Start Backup Specification with the Start Backup user
rights, a user is allowed to see the configured backup specifications in the GUI and is
able to start a backup specification or an interactive backup.
