Configuring ServiceUser
To configure user authorization, set the ServiceUser attribute:
*ServiceUser=user_ID, where user_ID is the user ID of each user who is allowed to access data using this service. To configure authorization for multiple users, you must set this attribute multiple times, one instance for each user. For example:
ServiceUser=RSMITH
ServiceUser=DJONES
ServiceUser=TCONRAD
Note: On Windows servers, you must prefix the user ID with the Windows server name or the Windows domain name, for example, SALES\DJONES. When connecting, the user must also prefix the user ID with the Windows server name, if connecting to a local server, or the Windows domain name.
*ServiceUser=authenticated. Any user who can provide a valid host user ID and password or who uses the NTLM authentication process will be allowed to send data access requests to the data access service.
*ServiceUser=everyone. All connections will receive the user authorization level, regardless of how they are authenticated. If ServiceAuthMethods=anonymous, ServiceUser=everyone must be specified.
