In a complex application integration environment, many systems and software
configurations require user accounts that assign specific permissions.
Before installing InterChange Server, plan for the user accounts that you will
need. Table 3 lists the user accounts required.
Account type | Description |
---|---|
Domain user
| The domain user is a single user who installs and configures the ICS system and supporting software on both servers in a cluster. |
System administrator
| The System administrator creates the ICS administrator account on the local machine. |
InterChange Server administrator
| The ICS administrator installs and configures the ICS system and supporting software. |
Database administrator
(DBA)
| The DBA creates the databases, data sources, and InterChange Server database login account that the ICS system uses. |

Depending on which database you are using for your InterChange Server repository, the default login account values are different:
If you are installing InterChange Server software in a high-availability environment, you must create a Domain user, then define that user's rights. To perform these tasks, you must be the Domain administrator.
