Configuring the Server User Access Rights to a Microsoft CA

The procedures in this section apply to the ActivID CMS “Server User” (which is the CMS Server user account set during ActivID CMS setup). This is not to be confused with the “CMS User” (who is the person logged on to the ActivID CMS Operator Portal). The ActivID CMS “Server User” establishes the connection to the Microsoft CA.

Note: The CMS Server service account must have local administrator rights on the system that is hosting ActivID CMS. This is required so that the anonymous user and ActivID CMS can both access the Enrollment Agent certificates that are stored in the local machine store.
