Configuring Network Settings
168 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
Even if you start the server as root, you should not run the server as root all the
time. You want the server to have restricted access to your system resources
and run as a non-privileged user. The user name you enter as the server user
should already exist as a normal Unix user account. After the server starts, it
runs as this user.
If you want to avoid creating a new user account, you can choose the user
nobody
or an account used by another HTTP server running on the same host.
On some systems, however, the user
nobody
can own files but not run
programs.
To change the server’s user account, edit the Server User field in the Network
Settings page in the Enterprise Administration Server.
Changing the Server’s User Account
(Windows NT)
By using a specific user account (other than
LocalSystem
), you can restrict
or enable system features for the server. For example, you can use a user
account that can mount files from another machine.
To change the web server user account after installation, perform the following
steps:
1.
Create a user with the Windows NT Users Manager. The user must have
“Log in as a service” rights.
2.
Stop the server.
3.
From the Windows Control Panel, choose Services.
4.
Select the Netscape Enterprise.0 service.
5.
In the Service pop-up, in the Log on As section, click the This Account
radio button.
6.
Type the user account you want the web server to use.
7.
Type the password for that account; type it again for confirmation.
8.
Click OK.
