Setting Security for Your Operating System
If you are using a Windows system, additional security configuration steps are required. No additional security configuration is required for UNIX platforms.
For a Windows system,
add the following user rights to the user ID under which the topology server runs
so that it performs in the following ways:
- Acts as part of the operating system.
- Logs on as a service.
This is optional and needs to be set only if the topology server is run as a service. See Configuring the Topology Server to Run as a Windows Service for instructions.
Follow these instructions to set user rights for Windows systems:
- Log on to an ID with administrator authority.
- Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.
- Click Act as part of the operating system
- Click Action > Properties > Add User or Group.
- Select the target user ID under which the topology server is to
run by typing the name in the Enter the object names
to select field. Then click OK.
If you do not know the exact target user ID, click Advanced > Find Now to see a list of user IDs in the name (RDN) panel.Note: To filter or add other object types, click Object Types, select the applicable check boxes, and click OK. Then, click Advanced.
- Click OK on each window that you opened to close and save your selection.
- Log off and log back on to the target ID for the user rights to take effect.
