Permissions for PlanetPress Connect Server
The PlanetPress Connect Server module, used by the Automation module, requires some
special permissions to run. These permissions are set during installation, in the Engine
Configuration portion of the Installation Wizard, but it can also be configured later by modifying
permissions for the service. To do this:
l In Windows, open the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services (this may
depend on your operating system).
l Locate the service called Serverengine_UUID , where UUID is a series of characters that
depend on the machine where the software is installed.
l
Right-click on the service and select Properties.
l
In the Connection tab, define the account name and password that the service should
use. This can be a local account on the computer or an account on a Windows Domain.
The account must have administrative access on the machine. It should also correspond
to the user account set up in PlanetPress Worfklow.
The Importance of User Credentials on Installing and
Running PlanetPress Connect
OL Connect and required credentials depends heavily on the Connect component and
respective tasks and what sort of user credentials are needed.
First of all, it is important to distinguish between installation and run-time
Installation
The Connect installer puts all required files, folders, registry entries and much more to their
correct places and locations. As many of these locations are protected against malicious
accesses, that very user under whose context the Connect installation is started and running,
needs very extensive rights on the respective computer. This user must belong to the Local
Administrators group on that machine. Here are some required capabilities, this user:
l Must be able to write into the "Programs" folder.
l Must be allowed to check for existing certificates and must also be allowed to install new
ones into the global certificate store on that machine.
l Must be able to write into HKLM and any subtree of it in the registry.
