Additional considerations

The service account is created with more permissions than are required to run scan processes. Write and List permissions are needed in order to run scan processes. The Read permission is needed to read scan processes stored in Active Directory Domain Services. You should consider removing unneeded permissions from the service account.

You should select a certificate issued by a certification authority (CA) that is trusted by clients connecting to the scan server. The subject name of the certificate must match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server.
