Maxsys and MX Series Software Administrator’s Guide 219
Appendix A: Miscellaneous
Configuration
This appendix covers various administrative issues that may need
to be addressed when configuring the system.
Configuration of Services
When the Card Issuance Software is installed for the first time, a user called
Maxsys is created and a password is configured. By default, the Maxsys user is
installed in the Local Administrators Group, and given the password datacard.
The following Services need to be st
arted by the Maxsys User.
• Datacard Maxsys
• DB2
- DB2
• D
B2DAS - DB2DAS00
• DB2 Governor
• SynteraMaxsysClient (if installed, y
ou must configure manually)
You may change the default user (Maxsys) and
password (datacard), (even to a
“domain account”) as long as the following rules are kept:
• This
user that starts the Services must be in the Local Administrators group
• This
user must also be in the DB2 Admin group
• This
user must have at least read rights to network directories for data input,
and any directories that may contain setups, images etc. write privileges
would be needed to make any changes to these. Any audit files saved to a
network would also be included in this rule.
• I
t is recommended that this user be exempt from any password expiration
policies. If this is not possible, this will need to be managed as the system will
not run if the password expires.
You must have domain administrator privileges to set a domain
account.
