IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Windows account requirements for the process control system

On Windows, the process agent must run as an account that is an Administrator on the local computer.

To connect to the process agent from Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator, another process agent, the ObjectServer, or a process control utility, you need one of the following account types:
  • A local Windows user account
  • A local Windows domain account
  • An account in User Principal Name (UPN) format; that is, username@DNS_domain_name

For peer-to-peer connections between process agents, be wary of using password policies that lock out Windows accounts after a set number of attempts. Process agents repeatedly attempt to log in if they fail to connect; therefore, the use of a wrong password could cause your Windows accounts to be locked out very quickly.
