Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Logging in with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Common Access Card (CAC) certificates

Users can login to DDMC with their existing PKI/CAC and present the Data Domain or PowerProtect system with a certificate for authentication or authorization.

1. To import CA Root, enter the following command in the Windows or Linux CLI:
   ssh sysadmin@DDMC adminaccess certificate import ca application login-auth < rootCA.crt
2. To import the intermediate CA files, enter the following command in the CLI:
   ssh sysadmin@DDMC adminaccess certificate import ca application login-auth < intermediateCA.crt
3. Select the "Log in with certificate" link.
   The Select a Certificate dialog displays, enabling users to select the appropriate certificate to use to login to DDMC.

   NOTE Only users that exist in DDMC are displayed.

   • Certificate supports local, NIS, and AD users.
   • Users are authenticated by the Data Domain or PowerProtect system using the public certificate present on the CAC/PKI.
   • Using a CAC/PKI card might require the user to enter a PIN as part of the certificate authentication process.
