Saving the user identity in a Windows registry file

About this task

After you have established a DiskAccess logon for the HCL VersionVault server process user, you can generate a Windows® registry key file that allows other users to add this support without having to log on as the HCL VersionVault server process user.

Procedure

  1. Run the creds utility to display the user SID of the HCL VersionVault server process user (versionvault_albd in this example).
    You need this SID in Step 4.

    versionvault-home-dir\etc\utils\creds versionvault_albd
    Windows NT user info (on local system): . . SID S-1-5-21-103034363-981818062-1465874335-1064 .

  2. In a Windows Registry Editor, navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intergraph\DiskAccess\CurrentVersion\Users.
  3. Select the subkey that matches the SID of the versionvault_albd user as returned by creds.
  4. Save the key to a registry file by clicking Registry > Export Registry File in the Registry Editor.
    When this file is run on any Windows computer that has DiskAccess installed, it creates the Windows registry key that enables DiskAccess logons for the HCL VersionVault server process user on Linux or the UNIX system.
