Configuring a login for a Windows Secure Agent service

On Windows, configure a network login for the Secure Agent service. The Secure Agent can access the network with the privileges and permissions associated with the login.

Configure a login for the Secure Agent machine to allow the Secure Agent to access directories to configure and run tasks. When you configure connections, configure tasks, and run tasks that use flat file

or FTP/SFTP

connection types, the Secure Agent might require read and write permissions on the related directories.

For example, to browse to a directory to configure a flat file

or FTP/SFTP

connection, the Secure Agent login might require permission to access the directory. Without a Secure Agent login with the appropriate permissions,

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

cannot display the directory in the

Browse for Directory

dialog box.

Go to the

Services

window from the Windows Administrative tools.

In the

Services

window, right-click the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent service and choose

Properties

In the

Properties

dialog box, click the

Log On

tab.

To configure a login, select

This Account

Enter an account and password.

Use an account with the required privileges and permissions for the network security defined for the domain. By default, the account format is <domain name>\<user name>.

Click

In the

Services

window, restart the Secure Agent service for the changes to take effect.
