Enabling remote access to the Enterprise Vault Web Access application computer

You may need to grant users of the Enterprise Vault Web Access application access to the IIS computer, using the local IIS computer accounts database, not the domain accounts database.

Note:

If the IIS computer is a domain controller, there is no local accounts database, only a domain accounts database. If you continue with these instructions when the IIS computer is a domain controller, you will make changes to the security access of the domain accounts database. This will affect all computers within the domain, not just the IIS computer. If you do not want to affect the whole domain, you should ensure that you run IIS on a non-domain controller.

To enable remote access to the Web Access application computer

  1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.

  2. In the Local Security Policy window, expand the Local Policies container.

  3. Click User Rights Assignment.

  4. Set up Basic authentication access by following the steps below in the order listed:

    • In the right-hand pane, right-click Allow log on locally and then, on the shortcut menu, click Properties.

    • Check that the Users group appears in the Local Security Setting list.

  5. Set up Integrated Windows Authentication access by following the steps below in the order listed:

    • With User Rights Assignment still selected in the left pane of the Local Security Policy window, right-click Access this computer from the network in the right pane and then, on the shortcut menu, click Properties.

    • Check that the Users group appears in the Local Security Setting list.

      If you do not want to add the Users group, see the other options below.

    By default, the Users group includes Domain Users. If the Users group does not include Domain Users, or if some Web Access application users are in a different domain, you must do one of the following:

    • Add the Web Access application users to the Users group.

    • Add the Web Access application users to some other group and then grant the access right to that group.

    • Grant the access right to each Web Access application user's account.

    The Enterprise Vault Web Access application is now set up and ready to be used by users in the same domain as IIS.
