Configuring archiving security
Before you can use Storage Mirroring Replicate archiving, you must establish a specific
security configuration. This is a six step process.
1. Confirm Storage Mirroring Replicate is installed on both the source and repository
server.
2. Create a new service account. A service account is a user account that is created
explicitly to provide security context for a service. Follow steps a through f to create
a new service account.
a. From Active Directory Users and Computers, create a new user.
b. Enter a descriptive name for the first and last name and modify the full name
as desired.
c. Specify a User logon name.
d. Specify and confirm a Password for the account.
e. Specify your password settings. The settings you select may be dependent
on your company's security policies. Keep in mind the following caveats for
password settings for a service account.
l
User must change password at next logon—The HP
recommendation is to disable this setting. The Storage Mirroring Recall
service will not be able to start if this option is enabled because the
service will be waiting on the required logon change.
l
User cannot change password—The HP recommendation is to
enable this setting. If this setting is enabled, you will not have to worry
about updating the credentials in the Storage Mirroring Recall service.
If you cannot select this option because of company security policies
and the password on the account is changed, the Storage Mirroring
Recall service will no longer have valid credentials. File recalls will not
function until the Storage Mirroring Recall service credentials are
updated to the new password.
l
Password never expires—The HP recommendation is to enable this
setting. If this setting is enabled, you will not have to worry about
updating the credentials in the Storage Mirroring Recall service. If you
cannot select this option because of company security policies and the
password on the account expires, the Storage Mirroring Recall service
will no longer have valid credentials. File recalls will not function until
the account is reset and the Storage Mirroring Recall service
credentials are updated.
l
Account is disabled—The HP recommendation is to disable this
setting. Because the word disable is part of the option name, the
