The following Windows user accounts must be available. Depending on your system configuration and security restrictions, a single account may satisfy all of these requirements:
-
For the install, establish a user able to log in locally (not from or through a domain) as a member of the Windows Administrators group on each machine on which you install Connect CDC software. This user must have the Windows User right to access this computer from the network.
-
For the install and later, establish a Windows service account on the machine that hosts the Connect CDC process(es). This is the account under which the service runs: the Log On As start-up parameter value on the Services dialog box accessed from the Windows Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services.
You can specify this account during the install as a “system account” or you can specify a particular user account. A system account is recommended.
If this is a user account, it may be the same account used to install the service from the Connect CDC Director machine, or it may be a local or a domain account. It must have:
-
Windows User Rights that include the advanced right Logon as a service on that machine
-
Sufficient privileges to create and update files in the directory that contain the Connect CDC process executable files
