Login Accounts

The Login Accounts page of the Control Center displays an overview of all existing login accounts for this environment. Login accounts are required to install, start, or stop services in AMT because the Internet Information Service (IIS) cannot perform these actions directly, but the IIS can manage these services on systems through the use of an account with administrative rights. Only one account with administrative rights is necessary within a Windows domain.

1. Open the Control Center in a web browser.
2. Navigate to Security → Login Accounts.

• Password: Password of the Windows account. The password will be stored encrypted in the system database.
• Default account: It is advised to set one account in this environment to be the default account. This account is used for managing System Services. Any of the accounts can be used to manage application specific services, including the default account in the environment.

  • InteractiveLogin – The processes started using this account will receive normal user access rights from the username@domain account.

The Windows System Administrator needs to set access rights for the account. See the Microsoft Windows documentation for more information about Logon and Authentication.
