Run the Infrastructure as a Named User

When installing a CA Data Protection server or client machine, you must specify a logon account for the infrastructure. This defaults to LocalSystem, but if required you can specify a named user account. There are various conditions where when you may need to do this. Specifically, when installing:

• A CMS or gateway, if you specify a remote \Data folder then the local infrastructure must log on as a domain user with administrative rights to read and write to the remote folder.
• The Remote Data Manager (RDM), the infrastructure must log on as a named user account. Also, this account must have the 'Log on a serivice' security privilege and permissions to retrieve data from an EAS archive. See the Archive Integration Guide for details; search for 'RDM'.
