Credentials to Run the Server

Credentials to run the Server are determined in Windows by the Startup tab of the Optim™ Server Settings applet. If not using the Local System account, you provide the credentials in User ID, Password, and Domain. In UNIX or Linux, the credentials are determined by the User ID under which the Server (pr0svce) daemon is executed.

After startup, the User ID for the Server may require other privileges, depending on whether you are using explicit credentials or client credentials.

For Windows, credentials on the Startup tab of the Optim Server Settings applet are added to the Service Control Manager database. At a minimum, the user account must have the authority to log on to the local computer as a service. You can use the Local Security Policy to grant this authority or you can use the built-in Local System Account, which has full authority on the local computer.

For UNIX or Linux, the user account under which the Server daemon is started dictates the privileges for the daemon. If the daemon is started as part of INIT processing, you must log on with the proper User ID before starting the daemon, or use the SU (substitute user) command.
