File Permissions for WebFOCUS Client Directories

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. For Windows 2008, default NTFS permissions are usually sufficient. However, Windows 2003 and Windows XP have more restricted permissions. The necessary steps depend on your web and application server.

For additional information about permissions and security, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual.
