Set the Working Directory's Permissions

This guide shows how to assign to the pool the right permissions on the working directory.

Overview​

For Identity Manager to work correctly, the pool of the production agent must be configured with specific permissions on the working directory.

This page describes the optimal configuration of the pool's permissions on the working directory to prepare the production agent's installation.

Set the Working Directory's Permissions​

Set the working directory's permissions by proceeding as follows:

  1. Right-click on the working directory, for example C:/identitymanager, to select Properties, and in the Security tab, click on Advanced.

    Working Directory Properties: Step 1

  2. In the Permissions tab, click on Add, and in the pop-up window click on Select a principal.

    Working Directory Properties: Step 2

  3. Click on Locations to choose the current computer, and in the text area enter iis apppool/identitymanager (Usercube being the name of the previously created pool).

    Working Directory Properties: Step 3

    An error at this point should come either from a mistake in the pool's name or in the selected location.

  4. Click on OK and make sure that only the Read and execute, List folder contents and Read permissions are selected.

    Working Directory Properties: Step 4

  5. Click on OK in the windows until they are all closed.
