Configuring a Servlet Engine User 

Use

As part of the operating system, this user is responsible for controlling permissions. The permissions of this user must first be checked on WINDOWS^→, and configured if necessary.

 

Prerequisites

You have administrator rights for the host on which the AS Java process of the portal is running.

 

Procedure

 

The steps specified are for a WINDOWS® 2000 system. Operating-system-specific specifications such as paths and names of settings may differ with other Windows operating systems.
