Step 2 - Creating a Trusted Windows User Account

For this step, create a local machine trusted user account on the database server. You can do this from the Local Users and Groups area of the Computer Management dialog, which can be launched from Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools.

During the e-Business installation, Aptify will automatically create a mirrored account on the Web server. This is a corresponding local user account on the Web server that shares the same username and password as the database server's local user. This user on the Web server will run the Microsoft IIS Application Pool used by the e-Business site.

For example, assuming the database server's name is database_server, the local user account you would create would be named something like database_server\ebizuser. Then, during installation, the e-Business setup program would automatically create a corresponding local user on the Web server named web_server\ebizuser (assuming the Web server's name is web_server). The e-Business setup program will assign the web_server\ebizuser account with the appropriate privileges on the Web server to run the e-Business site (as defined by your organization's security policies).

For future reference, the terms web_server, database_server, web_server\ebizuser and database_server\ebizuser will be used to describe the name of the web server, the name of the database server, the local account on the web server, and the local account on the database server, respectively.

The reader of this document should be familiar with the general and administrative functionality of Aptify as well as the business requirements of their organization. This level of knowledge is required to fully understand the possible impact of any modification with respect to the performance of the product as well as the modification's effect in accomplishing the organization's needs.
