Updating the InForm Publisher service security descriptor—for automated deployments only

If the InForm application uses automated deployments, you must follow these steps to append the InForm Users group to the security descriptor of the InForm Publisher service:

  1. Log in to the InForm application server as an administrator and open a command prompt window.
  2. Get the SID for the InForm Users group by running the following command:

    wmic group where (name="InForm Users") get sid

    The command returns an SID with the following format:

    SID

    S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx

    where S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx is the SID of the InForm Users group.

  3. Get the current security descriptor for the InForm Publisher service by running the following command:

    sc sdshow "InForm Publisher Service"

    The command returns a security descriptor similar to the following:

    D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)

  4. Add the SID returned in step 2 to the descriptor returned in step 3 by running the following command:

    sc sdset "InForm Publisher Service" D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)^

    (A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)(A;;RPWPDTLO;;;S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx)
