Windows NT (Intel) Access Permissions

After you set up your applications, you may set access permissions by using the Windows NT security features. Please refer to your Windows NT documentation for more information about security procedures. Make sure that the "AcuAccess" file and the "server.cfg" file can be written only by those accounts and groups that you want to have write privileges.

We recommend that you install and run AcuConnect on an ntfs drive, because FAT partitions offer no security to files or programs. If you install AcuConnect on an ntfs partition, be aware that the user connecting to AcuConnect needs both:

READ (RX) permissions on "acuthread.exe" and "acuthread.alc"

the appropriate permissions to access any file

For example, if your ACUCONNECT-RUNTIME-FLAGS contains "-e errorfile", AcuConnect will attempt to write "errorfile" in the same directory as "acuconnect.exe". In this case, the user would need CHANGE (RWXD) permissions to access that directory.

If the user connecting to AcuConnect is mapped to DEFAULT-USER , then DEFAULT-USER needs these permissions.
