Enable the Non-Root Users to Add Nodes

If the SSH Server disables the root user login, you can enable the non-root user login to add any nodes. When you enable the non-root user login credentials, the Add Node dialog changes and displays the Root Credential option.

Note: If you change the client node credential from a root user to a non-root user, it is recommended that you clear the /tmp folder on the client node before you run the backup job.

Follow these steps:

1. Log into the Backup Server as a root user.
2. Open the server.cfg file from the following location:

   /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/configfiles/server.cfg

   Note: If the server.cfg file is not present, create the file.

3. Add the following line in the server.cfg file to enable the non-root user function:

   enable_non_root_user=true

   The non-root user function is enabled.

4. (Optional) Add the following line in the server.cfg file to disable the non-root user function:

   enable_non_root_user=false

   The non-root user function is disabled.

The non-root users are enabled to add nodes.

Note: If you change the password for the root user or the non-root user and then you modify the node, you must reenter both the root password and the non-root password in their respective fields in the Modify Node dialog.

Note: The non-root users cannot manage nodes using the d2dnode command from the command line.
