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.
  1. Go to the
    Services
    window from the Windows Administrative tools.
  2. In the
    Services
    window, right-click the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent service and choose
    Properties
    .
  3. In the
    Properties
    dialog box, click the
    Log On
    tab.
  4. To configure a login, select
    This Account
    .
  5. 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>.
  6. Click
    OK
    .
  7. In the
    Services
    window, restart the Secure Agent service for the changes to take effect.
