Adaxes Service Account

0 votes

Hello

We are trying to Demo Adaxes version 2019.01. We created a read only service account but apparently the "account doesn't have enough privileges to register a service connection point". Do we need to grant Domain admin to this service account? Why?

Thanks

Dave

Hello Dave,

The Adaxes service account does not need to be a domain admin, it only requires the permissions to publish and unpublish Adaxes service. For information on how to grant the permissions, see https://www.adaxes.com/resources/releas ... ishservice.

Should the issue persist, please, specify whether you are installing Adaxes on a domain controller (DC) and what version of Windows is running on it.
