User account requirements
HCL Discover user accounts include account permissions, NT authentication, and Network Capture Application accounts.
Account permissions
As a recommended best practice, give any account used by a Windows-based HCL Discover service Local System permissions on the server.
Using non-local system accounts for running HCL Discover software is not supported. Running HCL Discover services with permissions other than Local System permissions might cause problems, such as failures to connect, write errors, and unexpected time-outs.
NT authentication
When NT authentication is enabled for the HCL Discover system, HCL Discover services must run under an NT domain account with appropriate privileges. Additional configuration may be required.
Network Capture Application (DNCA) accounts
The HCL Discover
DNCA runs on the Linux operating system. During DNCA installation, the dncauser
account is created, which is
used for running all DNCA services.
