I have installed STAF on both windows and non-windows machines. Now i am curious to know which user account does staf uses to communicate with its peer machines. Does it users "System" account or logged on user account?
Is there a way to find out which user does staf uses during its communication?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
STAF communicates via the STAFProc daemon from one machine to another. The STAFProc daemon process handles the sending and receiving of STAF service requests.
On Windows, the user that is logged in when STAFProc is started is the user that STAFProc is run under. If you want to run a process via the STAF PROCESS START request that requires administrative privileges, such as an install program, and not get UAC prompts, you may need to run STAFProc as an administrator. For more information on Windows with UAC Enabled, see section "5.1.2 Running STAFProc on Windows with User Account Controls (UAC) Enabled" in the STAF User's Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm#HDRSTPROC.
For more information on starting STAFProc automatically on Windows when the system is rebooted (without requiring a user to log on to Windows), see section "11. Starting STAFProc during system reboot", sub-section "11.3 Windows", in the STAF Installation Guide at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFInstall.pdf.
