Server Privileges for Explicit or Client Credentials

Whether using explicit credentials or client credentials, the Server credentials require certain privileges.

For Windows, the Server credentials must allow logon as a user and the creation of a process request as that user. To establish these permissions, you must access the Local Security Policy and grant the following privileges to the user.

Note: These privileges are automatically granted to the Local System Account.

Also, the overriding User ID (specified on the Security tab of the Optim™ Server Settings applet) and the client credentials must have the following privilege. (Note that, in some installations, you can give this privilege to everyone in the Local Security Policy, instead of specifying credentials for each client user.)

For UNIX or Linux, “Super-User” Server credentials are required to change the effective User ID and Group ID. During startup, if the filelogon parameter is set to “client” or “server,” the effective User ID that started the daemon must be a “Super-User” (zero).
