User Account for Service
Changing the user account settings for a windows service.
If inray software should access other computers (e. g. with OPC servers or databases), the executing component, a Windows service as a rule, must log on this/these computer/s. It is recommended to create a Windows user within the Windows domain shared by all computers involved – especially if OPC is converned (DCOM, see below). This user should have administrative rights on the inray computer to use configuration environments as well.
- Open services administration via “Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Services”.
- Open service to be configured by double-click (OPCRouterService, FAS-Service, inMOVE-Service)
- On tab “Log on”, choose option “This account”.
- Via “Browse”, select a user (object name). Important: With “Locations”, select your Windows domain, not the local computer.
- When having selected the user, click “OK”. You’re back in configuration dialog. Set the password.
- Confirm with “Apply”. Windows tries to log on your domain.
- If logging on fails, change the user from <User>@<domain> to <domain>\<user> and retry. No error means “succeeded”
- Confirm with “OK”.
- Restart service.
