[V13] users with EntraID or AD accounts?

[dloftisamtx]

From the What's New document about v13:

V13 delivers federated authentication enabling you to leverage external Identity Providers that support Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 with shared OAuth authorization service for accessing both the new web UI and the Windows-based backup console.

Where is this / how do you actually set it up?

Hi Dustin,

Entra ID SSO with SAML
The configuration steps are completed in the Backup Console (Windows-based Console) and are documented in our Helpcenter. You’ll need to work with your Entra ID team to prepare an Entra ID application for SSO on their side.

Currently, there isn’t a dedicated guide for Entra ID with Veeam Backup & Replication, but I’ll check with our help center team about adding documentation similar to what we have for Veeam Service Provider Console or Veeam Backup for Azure.

Domain User
The backup server must be joined to a domain first. This can be done in the Host Management Console.
Please see our helpcenter for guidance.
Once the backup server is added to the domain, you can add users or groups (helpcenter) using the following format with the Backup Console (Windows-based Console):

- DOMAIN\USERNAME
- DOMAIN\GROUPNAME

Best,
Fabian
