Having a domino service be authenticated to a microsoft folder

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a scheduled agent that pulls data from an Access db and creates and populates new Notes documents. Both the Notes database and the access db reside on the same server. The access db is in a shared folder where some security is set up in the folder’s acl. When I run the agent manually, I can access the records. My name is listed in the folder ACL. When I schedule the agent to run on the server, I don’t get an error message in the agent log, but no new documents are created. If I point to a folder with no security that contains a copy of the access db and schedule the agent to run, it is able to access the documents. This leads me to think that we are not putting the correct name in the folder ACL. On the domino server, the domino service runs under a master account that has all authority. We’ve even listed the master account name in the folder ACL and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try to run Domino Service with real windows user id, not as “Local System”. You change it in Services in Control Panel.

I forgot to mention this in my post. We have our Domino services running under our master windows user id, not as a local service. We have entered that id in the folder, but still get the same problem. One thing that I’ve heard about windows security is that it is the opposite of Notes. Is it true that if a windows ID is listed in two different groups, the ID will have the lower of the two sets of permissions?
