Running Klaros as a service

Hi,
we plan to run Klaros as a service on a Windows server and have some questions about it.
When running the server under a normal user, Klaros will create <HOME>/.klaros for everything, like attachments, logfiles, etc. Where this information will be stored when using a dedicated service user? It's important to know since we're going to use an external MSSQL DB and this information is stored in hibernate.properties.
Regards, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
In our view the dedicated service user is just another account in your system.
The Klaros files will indeed reside in the .klaros folder in the home folder of your user (e.g. C:\Users\klaros\.klaros). If you decide to limit access to this folder (which is indeed a good idea to do) it is your task to limit access to that folder using the typical Windows ACL measures for this folder.
It is important not to choose the default anonymous service account as this will lead to the placing of the .klaros folder in the Root folder of the boot device (which is the default home for that account).
This is in-line with the typical Unix approach to handle services.
Hope this helps,
Torsten
