PowerProtect Data Manager credentials

A PowerProtect Data Manager recovery requires host authentication credentials and application authentication credentials.

Host username and host password

When you add the PowerProtect Data Manager application into your Cyber Recovery deployment, the wizard in the Cyber Recovery UI prompts for two sets of users and passwords. These sets of credentials include the host username and password, and the application username and password.

NOTE:When the PowerProtect Data Manager server is deployed in the Cyber Recovery UI, it includes default credentials. The first step of the application wizard uses these default credentials to verify the FQDN or IP address as a valid PowerProtect Data Manager server and that the default credentials are set. Do not change the default credentials, otherwise, the wizard displays an error message and you cannot add the PowerProtect Data Manager application into your Cyber Recovery deployment.
The host username is the operating system host administrator username for the admin account of the PowerProtect Data Manager server in the Cyber Recovery vault.

At the wizard prompt, specify the administrator username, which is typically admin, and a password.

NOTE:The password for the operating system host administrator username does not need to match the production account password. The password can be anything that you choose.

These credentials are used for the second phase of the recovery procedure to protect the restored data against potential attacks. After recovery, the admin and root accounts on the host server will use this password.

Application username and application password

The application username and the application password are the credentials that you use to log in to the PowerProtect Data Manager UI on the production system.

At the wizard prompt, you must specify an application username and an application password that matches the application username and the application password on the production system.

After the first phase of the recovery procedure, which performs the recovery of the PowerProtect Data Manager server, the Cyber Recovery software issues API commands. The application username and the application password are required to run the API commands.

NOTE:If the application password on the production system expires, change the application password in the Cyber Recovery vault. Otherwise, the recovery procedure fails.
