Which user should I install Borland AppServer as?

Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000

The installer modifies some registry entries. This means you must run Setup while logged in as a user with administrator permissions.

Solaris

You can run setup on Unix as any user. This user becomes the "owner" of this Borland AppServer installation. You must always start Borland AppServer (i.e. run the "ias" command) from the installation owner account.

If you later want to start Borland AppServer from a different user account you must first change the ownership of the installation. You can do this by running the "iaschangeowner" command (you must be root to run iaschangeowner). After running iaschangeowner you must then always start Borland AppServer from the new owner of the installation, not the previous owner.
