When the openFT service is used under user rights, it is started under the rights of a predefined user. However, the user must possess administrator rights. When the service is run under user rights, you should note that the asynchronous openFT server only processes requests for the user under whose rights it was started.
This operating mode is reasonable
if only one user is working on the system and true multi-user operation is therefore not required,
or for automated procedures since these normally do not require multi-user functionality.
As Windows administrator, you set the user as follows (Windows 10):
Choose Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services and select the service openFT.
Choose Properties in the context menu.
The Log On tab is displayed.
In the window which has now been opened, select Log On As .. This Account and specify the user name and the user password of the account under which the service is to be started.
If the service is to run under the system account again, select Local System Account.
Notes
The service is automatically started up when the operating system is started up unless this has been explicitly deactivated via the administration facilities.
Access to the file system with the rights of the user under whom the service is executing, i.e. the FT server, can also only access files which the user is also able to access. This enables access to files in the network via UNC names provided that the users themselves have access.
As transfer admission, all the FTAC profiles of the user can be used with whose rights the service is running. Alternatively, a combination of user id,,password of the user with whose rights the service is running will also be accepted as the transfer admission. Transfer admissions or user ids of other users will not be accepted.
It is no longer necessary to store the password using the openFT Explorer (
Adminis-tration - User password) in order to allow FTAC profiles to be used, NTFS files to be accessed for asynchronous outbound requests, and local (outbound) or remote (inbound) follow-up processing to be performed.
This menu item is still available at the openFT Explorer so that you can change to a different operating mode (service executes with system rights) at any time.
The home directory specified for the corresponding user in the User Manager is used as the home directory. If no such directory is specified, openFT creates (for Windows 10, for example) the userID.hostname or userID.domain directory under the user. directory.
