1. On the system that will be used as the portal server, create a Windows user ID and make this
user a member of the Administrators group to provide it with administrative rights.
2. Assign the following user rights to the user account:
● Act as part of the operating system
● Log on as a service
User rights are maintained with the Local Security Policy tool. To view or modify the user rights:
1. Navigate through the Start menu to the Administrator tools menu, and then to the local security
policy option.
2. Double-click on the local policies and then double-click the user rights assignment.
3. Double-click on the user right you are interested in. The Local Security Policy Setting window
for the user right is displayed, listing the users who have been granted the user right.
During the Portal installation, you can select to run IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP
Server as services, and then you must provide the system logon user ID and password. This user ID must
have the rights noted above.
Note the following if you intend to run IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server as
services:
● The user ID you provide must already exist prior to the portal installation.
● If the user ID does not have the required privileges, then a reboot is required during the
installation to update the ID with the required privileges.
● Because a single user ID and password is used, the portal installation does not allow you to
create separate user accounts for these services.
