What Are the Required Accounts and Groups?

This topic summarizes the accounts and groups that you use to help secure a Commerce Server 2009 deployment. These accounts are required to run the various Commerce Server 2009 services, ASP.NET, and Web applications. Commerce Server 2009 creates some of these accounts when you configure a server. Other accounts require that you create them.

See the following sections for the account and group requirements for each of these areas:

  • Commerce Server Installer and Staging User Accounts

  • Commerce Server ASP.NET Account

  • Commerce Server Windows Service Accounts and User Groups

  • Commerce Server Web Application Accounts and User Groups

  • Commerce Server Adapter and BizTalk Server Accounts and User Groups

  • Data Warehouse and Analysis Service Accounts

Note the following:

  • Commerce Server 2009 supports only <NetBIOS domain name>\<user> name formats for service accounts and Windows groups.

  • We recommend that you use Active Directory domain groups and user accounts when you use multiple-computer configurations, including SQL Server. Domain groups include domain local groups, global groups, and universal groups, which are supported in both single-server and multiple-computer environments. You must manually create all the domain groups and accounts before you configure Commerce Server 2009.

    Note

    Commerce Server 2009 supports domain local groups only if Commerce Server 2009 and SQL Server are both joined to the same domain, and the user who logs on and configures Commerce Server 2009 is a member of the domain where the domain local groups exist.

Commerce Server Installer and Staging User Accounts

The Commerce Server 2009 installer account, known as <CS Installer> in this deployment guide, must have the following rights to configure Commerce Server 2009 servers:

  • Administrator rights on the local computer.

  • SQL System Administrator rights on the computer that is running SQL Server.

Add the Commerce Server 2009 installer account to the Windows user groups indicated in the following table. This lets the installer access the Web services associated with these user groups.

Account name

<CS Installer>

Registering ASP.NET version 2.0 as the default framework creates the ASPNET account.

Commerce Server Windows Service Accounts and User Groups

Each Commerce Server 2009 Windows service requires the definition of a Windows service account. The following table summarizes the default names that are used in this deployment guide.

Account name

Description

CSDMSvc

Account for running the Direct Mailer service.

CSHealthMonitorSvc

CSStageSvc

These three accounts must be created manually. The Configuration Wizard configures Commerce Server 2009 to use these accounts specifically, but the Configuration Wizard does not create these accounts.

Commerce Server Web Application Accounts and User Groups

You use Service user accounts for the Commerce Server 2009 Web applications to perform these tasks:

  • To run IIS application pools.

  • To help secure folders.

  • To establish anonymous access to the Web site.

  • To access the Commerce Server 2009 databases.

Commerce Server 2009 installs the Web applications when you unpack a Commerce Server 2009 site, such as the Default site, and select the Web services that you want to install. Each Commerce Server 2009 Web application requires definition of a Windows user account and a Windows user group.

The following table summarizes the default names that are used in this deployment guide. You create these items and make assignments before or after you install Commerce Server 2009. You create these accounts and user groups on the data tier domain controller. In addition, you create the RunTimeUser account on the Data tier domain controller. You also use the RunTimeUser account to run the Default Site application pool. For information about SharePoint administrative and service accounts, see http://go.microsoft. c om/fwlink/?LinkId=139663.
