Configuring a login for a Windows Secure Agent service
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,
