How can I add a service account to IIS8? - service

Actually I need to access to another folder at different server at the same network. I am planing to generate a kind of active directory user to work with the web server and my data server. How can I add it to my IIS 8?
I can't find any link to add access to Authentication section at IIS.
appreciate any help.

Ok I found solution! Simple as few click!!!
you can do it with following my Guid:
Select Application Pool at IIS8
Right click on the related pool and select advanced Setting
Find Identity under Process Model section
Set your credential at Custom account section.
it is done and don't forget to recycle the application pool and restart your web services.

Deploy a business network on bluemix

I use this tutorial to deploy a business network on a free bluemix cluster: https://ibm-blockchain.github.io/
I also deploy the REST Server and communicate via Web apps.
All went fine till yesterday. The REST Server was not accessible anymore.
I deleted everything on the cluster using the script delete_all available in the ibm-container-service repository.
I followed the install procedure using the create_all script. I could access the composer playground (port 31080) again but was not really able to deploy an online business network using the "profile" hlfv1. Now it asks at the bottom of the "deploy UI" for credentials.
I don't know what to fill in. I tried to use ID+Password. On this way I was able to deploy but I got access error by clicking on "connect now". I was able to start the REST server then but if i try to access it in the browser (port 31090), I get the feedback that I'm not authorized.
Any ideas?
And do you know which changes have been made in the last month, which could bring these troubles?
Thx
Phil
The tutorial pointed to only covers playground when used with a Web Browser connection not a real fabric. When you deploy to a real fabric you have to provide an initial identity that you want bound to an initial participant in the business network. The initial participant will be of type org.hyperledger.composer.system.NetworkAdmin and given a name of the initial identity name you provide.
This dialog looks like this
To get you started you should select the ID and Secret radio button. Then for Enrollment ID enter admin and for the Enrollment Secret enter adminpw.
This is the name and secret of the bootstrap identity that exists in the fabric-ca server that has been deployed as part of the scripts.
By providing this information that identity will be enrolled and it's public certificate will be bound to a NetworkAdmin participant which will be called admin. This identity admin will then have access to the business network as only identities that are bound to a participant in the business network can have any sort of access.

IdentityServer.IdentityManager requires no login

I am using the AspNetIdentity sample from the IdentityServer3 Samples file. When I start up the application the first page shows links for the Identity Server Welcome page and the Identity Manager User admin. When I click on the Identity manager admin link it automatically logs into the server and you can create, update etc any users, roles etc. How can this be modified to require a login? It seems obvious to me that this should not automatically log in and allow this access - am I missing something?
Identity Manager's default security is "Local Host" security. This means the caller/user is considered trusted if that caller is browsing from the same machine that is hosting Identity Manager. This is just the default, other security modes are available. Brock has a good video that explains the other modes.

Get IBM Bluemix SQL Database service credentials before I bind it to application, is it possible?

When I bind SQL Database service to an application I can see credentials from application panel. But in case I've created a service and would like to work with it before I'm binding to any application, is it possible? I haven't find a way to see credentials, only internal tools to work with database.
Thank you.
Once you provision a new SQL Database instance, you need to enter the service details page in bluemix, find the 'Launch' button to go to the service page which will open up separately. On the service page go to Set up `-->` Connect Applications `-- >` Connection settings. You will get all the connection details except the username and password.
If you are not able to resolve the username and password then you have got two alternatives :-
1. Create a dummy application, bind it to your SQL Database, get the credentials from VCAP_SERVICES, and you can use them externally.
2. If you are looking for something only on `DB2` then you have another alternative called `DashDB` available in Bluemix. Here the settings are well defined, credentials are clearly available and will work even without binding the service to an application.
Hope this helps you. Thanks.

FileMaker XML Web Publishing

We currently have a FileMaker Server instanace running, it already has PHP web publishing running.
I'm just wondering is it as simple as ticking enable XML web publishing for it to be up and running or have I got to restart the server??
Thanks
You need to enable it in the server deployment, then you need at least 1 user account in the file with the extended privilege to grant access via php/xml/iwp etc. You will need a user account in EACH file you want to have access to with the appropriate extended privilege.
Then comes the fun of actually working with the FMXML or FMPHP engine hehe.

TFS 2010 Build agent not starting

My build agents are not starting after I change the properties credentials to the domain account from the network service. I done this because the network service account cannot write to my drop folder.
Each time I add the network service to the drop folder share, it appears then disappears.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb778394.aspx I followed this but some steps are different, i have xp and it doesn't show the share tab so i go through security tab
So I guess I'm asking two questions here;
Agents are not starting after changing credentials.
Network service not able to write to the drop folder.
Thanks in advance
Yes, Network Service won't have permissions to write to a drop location. That's pretty standard. You need to be using a domain account.
The TFS Build Service will need to run as a domain user so it can write to the drop location.
The domain account for the build agent will need to be in the TFS Project Collection group for build service accounts (internal to TFS). I can't remember what it's actually called but you need to be a collection administrator to update it.
The domain account will also need some login as batch/service permissions but that should be done automatically when you reconfigure the service. Do you use the TFS Admin console to reconfigure the agent or did you just set the credentials on the service? (You should use the TFS Admin console).
