Security context in v5

Hi,

What or whose security context has write permissions when webinator rebuilts and writes the compiled search script (search.vtx)? It doesn't seem to be IIS's credentials as it was in v2.5.

With texis.exe and monitor.exe running in the background which one or do both require write permissions?

If you are using the ISAPI filter then it will be monitor.exe's security context, which if started as a service will be the local system account. If you continue to use the CGI program it will be IIS's context. You can also run "texis -C script" from the command prompt, in which case it would be your context.

That is very clear, thank you.

Before I test - if I in someway limit monitor.exe's write perms would that affect the rebuilding of the databases?

Thanks, David

Monitor.exe does need to be able to create the directories and files that comprise the databases.
