Configuring the Apache Tomcat Service Account

Perform the procedure below to specify a user account that the Apache Tomcat service can use to log on.

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools and select Services.
3. In the Services window, right-click on Apache Tomcat service from the list and select Properties.
4. Select the Log on tab.
5. Select This account and enter a user name and password.
   • If the account is a domain account, include the domain followed by the user name (For example, domain\username) to enable the web application server to access the repository.
   • It is recommended that you use an Administrator account (such as an Application Administrator or service account) to ensure the appropriate privileges are provided. It is also recommended that you use a password that does not expire to prevent disruption of application function/operations.

   Note: Setting the Service Account - If the repository is located on a network file share, the Apache Note: Tomcat web application server must run under an account that has full rights and access to the repository with a network service account. If the account is set to local system, this account will not have access to network resources. You must change the account under which the Apache Tomcat web application server is running.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click OK to close the Apache Tomcat Properties window.
