To verify user credentials on Windows systems, PowerExchange uses the LogonUser API.
On Windows 2000 and previous releases, the PowerExchange Listener user ID must have the SE_TCB_NAME privilege. In User Manager, this privilege is the “Act as part of the Operating System” right. On Windows Server 2003 and later releases and on Windows XP and later releases, no additional Windows configuration is necessary.
For more information about the LogonUser API, see the Microsoft article, “How to validate user credentials on Microsoft operating systems” at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180548.
When you enable security for the pwxcmd and infacmd pwx programs on Windows, PowerExchange does not accept guest as an authorized user account.
