Please be aware that when you have followed these instructions given in the following sections, your server must be rebooted.
- User Manager for Domains
To create a WebI/BCA Administrator you must open User Manager for Domains, found on the server under Start>Programs>Administrative Tools (Common)>User Manager for Domains.
Click “User… Select Domain…” and select the local machine. On the bottom half of the screen under “Groups”, click on “Administrator”. Now from the top menu, click on “User” and then “New User…” Enter the new user details for your WebI/BCA Administrator. Once you have filled in these details, click on the “Groups” button (bottom left) and add “Administrators” to the “Member of:” box. Once you’ve done this, click “OK” then “Add”.
To confirm that your user has been added to the Administrator group, double click the “Administrators” group on the main screen and you should now see your new user among the list of users. Find your user in the top part of the screen, and double click him/her. This will show you the “User Properties” for your user. It is advisable to check the box that says “Password Never Expires”.
You now need to grant appropriate permissions to this user. From the top menu, choose “Policies” then “User Rights…” Put a tick in the “Show Advanced User Rights” (bottom left) and then click once on “Administrators” in the “Grant to:” box. Now under the pull down menu for “Right:” you need to make sure your user has been granted these 6 rights:
“Access this computer from network”
“Act as part of the operating system”
“Back up files and directories”
“Log on as a service”
“Log on as a batch job”
“Restore files and directories”
To grant these rights, find the permission in the drop down box and click once. Once clicked, the users granted this permission will be listed in the box below. Add your user to the list. You will find your new user if you select the “Administrators” group and then click the “Members…” button. Click “Add”, and your new user will now be listed in the “Grant to” box.
Follow this procedure for each of the 6 permissions listed above.
- The WebIntelligence Manager and WebIntelligence Orb services
You now need to go into “Services”(Start>Settings>Control Panel>Services). You may find it handy to have a shortcut to Services on your desktop. Scroll down to find “WebIntelligence Orb”. Stop this service and then double click on it. (Note - on stopping this service, WebIntelligence Manager will also be stopped. This is ok, since the following operations need to be performed on both the Orb AND the Manager.) Under “Log on as” select “This Account”. Click the “…” button to find your new user, and then enter and confirm your password. Follow the same procedure for “WebIntelligence Manager”. On completion, restart each service. Both services should be configured for "Automatic"start.
- Servconf and DCOM configuration
Finally, open Servconf. This is found in “Program Files/Business Objects/Server/BusinessObjects Manager 5.0”. (You may find it handy to create a shortcut to Servconf on your desktop). In Servconf, check your new user. Make sure the radio button is set to “This User (recommended setting)” and for user account, press “Browse” to find your new user. Enter the same password used in the WebIntelligence Manager and WebIntelligence Orb services. Click on the “Test User Account” button to check the validity of the account details.
You now need to click the button that says “Run DCOM Config” and choose the “Default Security” tab. Under “Default Access Permissions” section, click “Edit Default…” and add your new user to the list. Make sure your user has “Allow Access”. Do the same for the “Default Launch Permissions” and “Default Configuration Permissions” sections, making sure your user has “Allow Launch” and “Full Control” respectively. Finally select the “Applications” tab from the top of the window. Double click the “businessobjects.server” key. Select the “Security” tab and edit the “Custom Configuration Permissions”. In the same way as before, locate your user and add him/her to the list. Make sure this user has “Full Control”. Apply all changes, and confirm the modifications.
On closing this window, you will be asked to reboot your server for changes to take full effect.
Important Note:
If the NT Administrator logs on and changes his or her username or password, the changes will be stored in the NT User Manager for Domains. But this will also affect the WebI/BCA user account. If the username or password are changed by the Administrator, be sure that the changes are reflected in the WebIntelligence Manager and WebIntelligence Orb. Also make sure that the new usernames and passwords match those in Servconf.[/i]
