Simon - Are you using the Windows Admin Console or Java console? The java
requires a username/password - the windows console does not.
The auth.conf file would only exist if using the Java console.
If using the windows admin console and seeing different behavior for
different accounts, it may be due to which account you installed NetBackup
using. If you installed NetBackup on this master server while logged in as
yourself and your account doesn't have domain admin rights - then your specific
account would be the only one to have administrative authority on the machine.
If your account does have domain admin rights - then any account with those
rights should be able to administer NetBackup.
A work around may be to just setup the java console - then you can give them
rights in the auth.conf file. Or you could install the windows admin console
on his/her local machine and add that machine name to the servers list on the
master server...

hi Mate
Yes, just mentioned to Paul, that file is not present on any master / media
server.
Im running nbu 5.1 - but I found a technote, which describes my problem, but
relates to the Java Console only!
In this case, its the Master Server that the issue seems to be appearing

Simon,
You might want to check to see if you have your domain account configured
properly in the auth.conf file.
See page 506 of the NetBackup 6.0 Administration Guide for Windows vol 1.
Hope that helps.

He was logged into the Master Server. The attempt was to restore a single
file to a client. The restore was to the same client, but it was the issue over
the 3rd TAB that I had a query over.
2 Accounts can see this tab, one being mine. If someone else logs on with the
same rights as myself, perform the same process, they do not see the 3rd TAB
that states "Destination Clients".
Its not the end of the world, but it would be nice to know why I can see it,
another account can see it, yet no one else can.
And the account used was a Domain Admin account!
As a test, I logged into the machine with my account, launch the Admin
Console, chose Backup, Archive, Restore, selected FILE / Specify NetBackup
Machines & Policy Type and a small Window appears. The 3 tabs I see are
"Servers", "Source Clients / Policy Type" and finally "Destination Clients".
Now, logging into the same master server, with a Domain Admin account,
perform the same steps as above, I get the same small window, however the
difference being is the present of just 2 tabs labelled "Servers" and "Clients
/ Policy Type". Thats it !
So ... I am just trying to work out why my 2 accounts show a difference.....
and I cannot quite understand why !

Most likely the reason that your admin was unable to chose a destination client
was because he was logged into the client vs. a master or media server.
By default NetBackup will not allow clients to restore information to other
clients (that's a security measure - you wouldn't want just anyone to have the
ability to restore anything anywhere).
If an admin logs into a client system, unless the client is specified a in the
server list, it will never be authorized to run restores of anything but it's
own data.
There is a section in the Admin Guide about setting up exceptions for this
rule. On Unix the file is "No.restrictions" - I think it has a similar
name/fuction on windows (just check the index of the windows guide for that
file name...)
Now that will limit users to the ability of restoring other machines data to
itself, but will not allow that machine to restore to anything but the local
client.
Short story - if you want your admin to have rights to restore anywhere - have
him log into an administrative account on the master server.
The only other reason I have ever seen that tab grayed out was if there was a
reverse hostname lookup issue to the machine starting the interface.
