Windows service access and User access to folders
The following table shows the required access to folders by different IBM AD server and client components. The access type of write, where specified, implies being able to also delete and create files.By default on WindowsWindows, IBM AD server components, which run as Windows services, are configured to run using the credentials
of the Windows Local System account ID of the machine on
which they are installed. If any folder locations that are defined in your environment and listed in
the following table as requiring access by a server component are not accessible to the IBM AD server's Local System account ID, you can go to the
Properties dialog box of one or more of the IBM AD
server services, and then configure the services to run using the credentials of a different ID that
does have appropriate access to the necessary folder locations. Additionally, when using such a
non-default service ID to run IBM AD services, on the
server machine, the service ID must be granted the Log on as a batch job
and Log on as a
service
local rights.
For IBM AD Analyze Client and IBM AD Build Client, grant access to the logged on Windows user that is running the component.
