Configuring a user account to secure Search Host service
To secure communication between Content Manager and the Search Host service in an outscale scenario, configure a dedicated Windows or Active Directory account, username and password.
About this task
When you install Content Manager/Search Host service, the installer configures the MTS User as the user account that connects to the Search Host service and creates a local group, called <MACHINENAME>\SDLSearchUsers, on the fly and adds the MTS User to it. After installation, SDL recommends replacing the local group created by the installer with a dedicated Active Directory group. The group and the username are case-sensitive and cannot contain spaces. The user must always be a member of the group.
