To change the RWP user account on Windows

On Windows computers, RWP is started at boot time by the Windows Service Control Manager and runs with the identity of the built-in LocalSystem account (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM).

To change the identity under which RWP runs on Windows:
  1. Run the Services application (in Control Panel > Services or Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). RWP includes the following services:
    • IBM HTTP Server 6.0.1
    • IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6 - RWP Servlet
    • IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6 - RWP ReqWeb Servlet
  2. Edit each service's Log On properties to specify either a local or domain account.
  3. Run rwp_restart to stop and restart RWP (see To start, stop, and restart RWP).
