Configure LDAP Authenticator Class.exe Permissions

You need to grant permissions to the LDAP Authenticator Class.exe file, which is the executable for the Oracle Argus Insight application.

In addition, you need to create a domain user who will have access to the web servers and all network services that will be configured in Oracle Argus Insight. The instructions in this document use an example user, named safety_user. You need to substitute safety_user with the name of the domain user that you create.
