You must follow each of these steps to prepare the Security Synchronizer to run. Details for each step follow these summarized steps:
- Decide the Source of Windows Security Information – Decide whether you want to use domain security, local node security, or both.
- Create Windows Users - Create Windows users on the domain or local computer, as decided in the first step.
- Create Windows Groups – Create Windows groups on the domain or local computer, as decided in the first step. You can use The CreateWindowsGroups Tool for this step.
- Assign Users to Windows Groups and Grant Privileges – Assign the Windows groups created in the previous step to the appropriate Windows user accounts.
- Configure iFIX Security – Create at least one iFIX account with the appropriate privileges to run the Security Synchronizer. Ensure that one of these users is logged in when the Security Synchronizer application is running.
NOTE: You must perform this step only if you run Security Synchronizer while security is enabled.
