Abstract
Embodiments for a system and method for secure authentication of backup clients in a way that eliminates the need to create users for backup client authentication anywhere in the backup ecosystem, and which eliminates the need for credentials, such as passwords that need protection, updating and synchronization. Such embodiments use a short-term token, such as a JSON web token, for both client and server authentication within the system, and verifies that the tokens grant access using the public key corresponding to the private key assigned to the directory objects by the creator of the directory objects.
