Note: ReportCaster web components are installed with WebFOCUS Client.
Since WebFOCUS Client runs as part of your web and application servers, the user IDs that run web and application server processes require access to WebFOCUS Client directories. On most Windows 2008 machines, default NTFS permissions are sufficient, in most cases. However, Windows 2003 and Windows XP have more restricted permissions. The necessary steps depend on your web and application server.
You can optionally enhance security by changing the user ID under which Tomcat runs to an ID with less authority on the machine and then set NTFS permission for this user ID. See Additional WebFOCUS Configuration Options for more information.
For additional information about permissions and security, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual.
