Service Accounts

A basic Virtual Machine deployment of LinXmart requires an existing Microsoft Active Directory for authentication.

Service accounts are required for the system components. This allows these components to connect to file shares and databases using these accounts and permissions to these data stores can be managed through Windows Integrated Authentication.

The following Active Directory domain accounts need to be created if they do not already exist:

Service Account	Intended Use
LinXmart_Worker	Log On user for the LinXmart service
LinXmart_Web	The identity of the LinXmart Application Pools in IIS for both the Web and API sites

tip

The names of the service accounts can be changed to suit your own conventions/standards. However, the rest of the deployment guide will referto these service accounts using the names above.
