Creating the Rational Synergy session user in the operating system

You must define the IBM® Rational® Synergy session user in the operating system. IBM Rational Change uses the Rational Synergy session user name to run back-end Rational Synergy sessions. Use csuser, which is predefined in the Rational Synergy 7.2 or later database.

About this task

For security and logging reasons, do not use the following as the Rational Synergy session user:

For UNIXccm_root

However, if you cannot create an operating system user account, you can temporarily use these as session users. Later, you can use the Admin interface to change the Rational Synergy session user.

    1. Contact your system administrator to add an operating system user.

      For WindowsThis user must have the same domain as the Rational Synergy administrator. The user must be able to log on locally to the machine running Rational Synergy sessions and send email.
