Configure the Logon User for each MineMarket Service

Use this activity to configure the logon user for each MineMarket service. This activity is required for every MineMarket service that is run as a service (rather than in console mode).

Each service must be stopped before making changes to its configuration. The service can be restarted when configuration is complete.

The following tables summarise the security configuration required for each service. The configuration depends on the combination of the service logon user and the database authentication configured for the MineMarket Server.

MineMarket Service MineMarket Search Service MineMarket Information Services *	MineMarket Database Authentication
	Integrated Security	Basic Authentication (User Name and Password)
Local system account (typically NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM)	Add NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as a database user in the DBMS.	No additional configuration is required.
Named user account (eg MyDomain\MMUser)	Add MyDomain\MMUser as a database user in the DBMS.	No additional configuration is required.

* Using the same logon user for all MineMarket Information Services is recommended.

MineMarket Marketing Service MineMarket Export and Reports Service	MineMarket Database Authentication
	Integrated Security	Basic Authentication (User Name and Password)
Local system account (typically NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM)	Add NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as a database user in the DBMS. Add NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM to the MineMarket Administration user group.	Add NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM to the MineMarket Administration user group.
Named user account (eg MyDomain\MMUser)	Add MyDomain\MMUser as a database user in the DBMS. Add MyDomain\MMUser to the MineMarket Administration user group.	Add MyDomain\MMUser to the MineMarket Administration user group.

Activity Steps

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools.
3. Double-click Services.

   The Services screen opens.

4. Right-click a MineMarket service and select Properties from the menu.

   The Properties window for the service opens.

5. Select the Log On tab.
6. To use the local system account:
   1. Select Local System account.
   2. In the MineMarket Client, add the local system account as a user in the Administration user group if required for that service.
   3. If using integrated security for the database connection, add NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as a MineMarket database user in the database management system.
7. To use another account:
   1. Select This account.
   2. Enter or browse for the account name.
   3. Enter and confirm the password for the account.
   4. In the MineMarket Client, add the account as a user in the Administration user group if required for that service.
   5. If using integrated security for the database connection, add the account as a MineMarket database user in the database management system.

      Important: The local system account is typically called NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Using an account other than the local system account is the more secure option.
