To change the log in options for the Laserfiche services
- Open Services and view the properties for the Laserfiche Server service or the Laserfiche Full-Text Indexing and Search Engine service by double-clicking it. The properties dialog box will appear.
- From the Log On tab, choose one of the following options:
- Local system account: This should only be used when all of your volumes and your database management system will reside on the computer hosting the Laserfiche Server, and the Full-Text Search and Indexing Engine will also be on the same computer as the Laserfiche Server.
- This account: A domain account can be specified for any type of configuration. However, the specified domain account must meet the following requirements:
- The account must have administrative privileges on the current computer.
- The account must have read and write rights to the folders where volumes will be stored.
- If you are using Microsoft SQL Server, the account must be associated with a SQL login. All local administrators on the SQL server computer are associated with a SQL login and can be used for this purpose. Alternately, you can use an account that is not a local administrator as long as the account has the rights to log in to SQL server and is set as the owner of any databases created for use with Laserfiche.
- Click OK to save your changes.
Note: If you want to allow users to log in using Windows Authentication, the Laserfiche Server service must run as a Windows account.
