Add Netapp storage with MFA

[OmiFreak]

Is it possible to add a Netapp Ontap storage system to Veeam where Ontap Secure Shell (2FA) or SAML authentication to System Manager is configured?

Hello Bernd,
I assume that you don't like to confirm the second factor with every backup run or rescan, right?

Best regards,

Hi Hannes,
I know what you mean
The problem is that Ontap 9.3 only supports ADFS as a IdP if AzureAD would be supported we could probably use a app password. But that's Netapp's fault not yours.

Best regards,
Bernd

Hi Bernd,

can't you still create a dedicated veeam user that uses "password" as auth method with the "-authentication-method" flag when creating it on CLI?

Hello Stefan,

thank you for the information with the "-authentication-method" flag. This could fix the problem.

Yes, please try out to create a local use with it and let us know so other can read it here as well in case they run into the same situation.
