Recommended. When specified, allows FME Server to access Active Directory using the service account.

A service account is required for certain features of FME Server.

To obtain the service account name:

  1. From AD Explorer, connect to the Active Directory.
  2. Browse for and select the entry representing the service account.
  3. The service account name appears under the 'sAMAccountName' attribute.

Note: Specify only a service account name for the SECURITY_AD_PREAUTH_USERNAME parameter. Do not include a domain name. For example, do not specify domain_name\\user_name. Specify only user_name.
