Thanks Jay.
Two follow up questions though.
1. What implications does asigning this user as a domain user have? Is the
overhead of using a domain user, rather than a local user account
significant?
2. What's the difference between specifying this in the identity section,
rather then in the processModel section which also contains attributes for
userName and password?
Thanks,
