Configure Local Agent

I'm not sure what are you trying to export nor how, but what you say seems to be typical permission issue. You will need to add username you use to admin list in NW.

Sorry, my question was wrong:
What I wanted to do:
"Exporting local host credentials
To export local host credentials:
1. From the Administration window, click Configuration.
2. Open the Local Hosts folder.
3. From the Local Hosts list, right-click the NetWorker server and select Configure
Local Agent.
NetWorker authentication 441
NetWorker Client Management
4. Select the Advanced tab.
5. From the NW Instance Info Operations attribute list, select Export.
6. In the NW Instance Info File attribute, enter a directory and name for the
credential file.
7. Click OK. A credential file is saved to the location specified."
When I do that the message is:
"user Administrator on machine xy.domain.local is not on administrator list"

but when I look at the NSR ressource i see:
....
user=Administrator,host=xy.domain.local

Thanks four your help.

May be you have to add the user "Administrator" on xy.domain.local to the Administratorslist on the client you want to export the credentials from.

I wanted to use "nsrauth" but if you say that it is hightly not recommended I won't do that.
Thanks for your answer.

Where is your problemn with nsrauth?

I don't have it as I don't use it. Those who had change their mind afterwards and examples can be found on this forum too.

And of course, if you open ANY case with support, the first thing they will tell you is to disable nsrauth and try again. At least this happen to me all the time.

So EMC-Support is the problem with nsrauth??
I can't imagine that all problems are caused by nsrauth.

Not all of course... but auth mechanism happens for almost all operation performed by nsr processes and if something is broken there then you may end up with broken functionality on many fronts. I have to be honest and say that I have no idea how stable and good nsrauth is in recent versions, but realistically I didn't see much work in the background on that subject so I don't expect much improvement.
