Administration account requirements

Before you install, ensure that the user account that you use meets the following criteria:
  • The administrator user that installs 
    NDS
     and plug-ins must have the same Windows administration user account as the 
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     user account.
    The 
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     application and 
    NDS
     are run on IIS, and the IIS USR or NETWORK SERVICE group needs access to the AtHocENS folder. Additionally, the services might need DLLs to be either GACed, located in a folder with access permission, or copied to the folder or /bin folder of the program.
  • This user needs to be an administrator account in 
    Microsoft SQL Server
    :
    • SA account must be a sysadmin
    • NGAD can be public in Server Roles
    • NGAD becomes the owner of the database during the 
      NDS
       installation.
      This can conflict with using 
      Windows
       authentication where the dbo is supposed to be the 
      Windows
       service account.
  • The Admin user, IIS user, and Network service user need EDIT access to AtHocENS folders.
