Re: SV: [Wrapper-user] Access network directories from NT service!

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Suo,
    If the same settings are working on your Win2k box, that makes me
wonder if it is a problem with NT. I'm not sure if there are any differences
in the way NT handles account privileges.

    Could you give the program that David posted a try and verify that both
the Wrapper and JVM processes are both running as the intended user?
Most likely they are but it would be nice to confirm.

Cheers,
Leif

But on the WinNT machine, I do have access to the mapped drive as a "windows user", I can create and delete files on that drive through Explorer. It's just when I run my app as a servive it fails.

However, as I install the app as a NT service, it can't access the directory. I use the wrapper.ntservice.account and wrapper.ntservice.password properties of the conf-file to set the user that the service should run as, and looking at the installed service hrough control panel->services, it seems OK. But when I start the service, it still doesn't seem to run as the correct user.
