Configuring the DCOM identity of remote services
Some web applications that are included with Meridian besides Web Access also need to access document metadata, for example, the document subscriptions viewer and the Meridian FDA Module audit log viewer. In environments where the audit and subscription data is stored on a separate database server from the Meridian application server, it may be necessary to configure the user account that is used by those web applications to access the data.
To configure the DCOM identity for these services:
- Open dcomcnfg.exe from a command (CMD) window on the server.
- Expand Component Services, expand Computers, expand My Computer, expand COM+ Applications, right-click BlueCielo Meridian Services and then click Properties on the shortcut menu that appears. The BlueCielo Meridian Services Properties dialog box appears.
- On the Identity tab, click This user and type the credentials of the account described in Granting domain privileges with a service account.
- Click OK.
