Environment

NetIQ Advanced Authentication 4.8

Situation

Can I use RunAs to launch “Autorun.exe” to install NetIQ Authenticore Server or do I need to be logged in to the server as a Domain Administrator?

Resolution

When installing the first Authenticore Server on the domain, it is recommended that you logon as a Domain Administrator.

You may use RunAs when launching “Autorun.exe” if required, however you may need to validate that the security groups and server accounts are created in Active Directory.

Domain.com/Users

  • NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework Admins – by default, the Domain Admins security group should be members;
  • Authenticore Admins – by default, the Domain Admins security group should be members;

  • AuthenticoreService – this account must belong to Domain Admins security Group.

You may also run the individual .msi installer files from a command prompt using “msiexec.exe /a”

Subsequent Authenticore Servers may be installed using RunAs. The installing user must be a member of the Authenticore Admins security group.
