Running PolicyCenter with the appropriate permissions
It is important that the software processes that support your PolicyCenter application run with the appropriate permissions. How you set up these accounts depends on whether the application server environment is UNIX-based or Windows:
Microsoft Windows |
If your network servers are Microsoft Windows systems, create a user with the Log on as a service right. Ensure that this user is not a member of any group. Then, start the application server process as this user to ensure that PolicyCenter is run with the correct rights. If you run Tomcat on Microsoft Windows, install the PolicyCenter server as a Windows service. See Install Tomcat as a Windows service for more information. |
UNIX |
For a UNIX-based operating system, the PolicyCenter-related processes must run in non-privileged (user) mode. A process in non-privileged mode can access only its own memory. To ensure that the PolicyCenter processes run in the correct mode, create a specific user account on each server and run the corresponding applications under these accounts. |
