When multiple groups or users configured, you can specify the group or
user/password at the command-line with the following flags:

# sbadmin –G group –U user/passwd

For more information see the

SBAdmin Commands Reference.


Refer to

Configuring Users

and

Configuring Groups

chapters for more information.

When starting the GUI interface, the

Main Screen

will appear.

Web-Based Interface – This interface is accessed through a web browser and is designed to be similar in
use and function to the GUI interface. By default, the web interface is not configured when installing the
software. Therefore, you must have enabled the web interface when installing the software on the
Administrator System in order to access it.

To start the web interface, you must point your browser to the hostname or IP address of the administrator
system and the port number (default 8080) configured when you installed the software (note the use of
https instead of http):

https://adminhost:8080

You will be taken to a page where you must enter your SBAdmin username and password to access the
application. When SBAdmin was first installed, an “admin” username was configured, and you were
prompted for the password for this user.

If you forgot the username or password, you can log into the admin system as the
“root” user and use the Xwindows (GUI) or command-line interface (‘stuser’
command) to change the password of the SBAdmin user.


Refer to the

SBAdmin Web Interface Install Guide

for additional details on installing, configuring and

starting this interface.

2. Command-Line Interface (CLI) – This refers to running commands provided with this software at the shell

prompt. Commands may only be run on a client or backup server system when logged on as the root user.
On the administrator system, commands can be run when logged onto the system as a non-root user, but
you will be prompted for the username and password of a configured SBAdmin user with the proper
authority to run the command.

From the admin system, you can run any command without being prompted for the username and
password by providing the authentication credentials at the command line. For example, to start a job you
would use the “strunjob JobID” command. To provide the username at the command line, supply the –U

username/password

flag as the first argument to this or any other command:

strunjob –U userid/password JobID

When SBAdmin was first installed, an “admin” username was configured, and you were prompted for the
password for this user.

Refer to the

SBAdmin Commands Reference

for details on each available command.
