Execution accounts for consumers installed with Symphony

Consumers installed with Symphony are configured to use the cluster administrator account as the execution user. Normally, you should not edit any of these consumers.

However, for certain consumers to execute work on both Windows and Linux/UNIX hosts, you need to make sure the execution user in the consumer properties uses the Windows account name. If the execution host is Linux or UNIX, the domain name is automatically stripped (for example, DOMAIN\egoadmin is interpreted as egoadmin on Linux and UNIX).

If the master host runs Windows, the consumers are already configured with the Windows user name, do not make any changes. If the master host runs Linux/UNIX, you must edit ConsumerTrees.xml manually, and for each of these consumers add the Windows domain name to the existing Linux/UNIX user name (for example, change egoadmin to DOMAIN\egoadmin).

You must also register the cluster administrator password.

The consumers you need to modify are:

  • EGOClusterServices under ClusterServices

  • SymphonyClusterServices under ClusterServices

  • Symping51

  • SymExec51

Also, if you will use any of the sample applications, modify the execution account of the consumer before you deploy the related sample application.
