Run Client Automation Services as Administrator

On Windows, a CAF feature lets you run a Client Automation plug-in or service under specific user credentials. However, only users in the administrators group are supported; other types of users will not work.

To run a plug-in or service, for example, the sdagent service

1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Set the credentials for sdagent using the command:

   caf setcreds sdagent user administrator password xxx
   

3. Test that it works by issuing the following command:

   caf start sdagent
   

   The sdagent program (sd_jexec.exe) should appear in the Task Manager running as administrator.
