Re: Embedded WAS requires administrator privileges

Thanks for the response Daron,

Just to clarify, I am talking about installing WDSC/WAS to a workstation for development. When installing WDSC, you are given the option to install WAS to use as a test environment, before deploying to production. Is this how others are doing there testing/development?

Alternatively, we thought of using a WAS installation on an "i" for testing, but there are certain hooks between WDSC and the local WAS installation that are nice to have. Such as start/stopping the server, and restarting the server in debug mode all from within WDSC. If WDSC can be hooked into a WAS installation on the "i" in this way, we would be happy to go that route too.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

Would it be possible to install only WAS and not WDSC? Is WDSC
necessary to have on the production server - will be using the IDE on
the server for development or simply installing production applications?
At any rate, I'm not sure if WAS can be installed on the server as
another user other than administrator although I wouldn't see why it
couldn't if the user had admin privileges?

WDSC users,

We are running WDSC for J2EE development. In order to run the embedded WAS server, we have to run WDSC as a windows user with administrative privileges. This causes a problem as we don't give our day-to-day accounts that level of privilege. Is there a way around this requirement? ie. Is there anyway I can run WDSC and it's embedded WAS as a regular windows user?

Thanks,
