Creating a user for the Oracle Commerce services on Windows
You must run the Oracle Commerce services as a specified user, for
which you can control permissions.
Oracle recommends that you create a user account called
endeca that has the proper file and directory
permissions to access all necessary files for your application, and that you
set up your Oracle Commerce Workbench Service to run under this account.
However, you can use any user that you prefer, as long as it meets these
requirements.
To create the user endeca:
Ensure that you have administrator privileges on the local
machine.
From the Windows Control Panel, select
→ .
In the tree pane of the Computer Management window, select
→ .
Right-click
Users and select
New User.
In the
New User dialog box, do the following:
Enter
endeca for both the User name and the Full
name.
Optionally, enter a description.
Set a password for user
endeca.
Note
The user must have a non-blank password, because the
installer will not accept a blank password for the services user.
Uncheck
User must change password at next logon.
Click
Create to create the new user, and then
Close to exit the dialog box.
Close the Computer Management window, but do not exit
Administrative Tools.
From Administrative Tools, do the following:
Open
Local Security Policy.
In the Local Security Settings window, select
→ .
From the list of policies on the right, open
Log on as a Service.
Add user
endeca to the list of users that can
register a process as a service.
Close the dialog box and exit Administrative Tools.
