Special Considerations for Sybase

Note

The following content is valid for Genus Apps version 2018.1 or earlier. As of Genus Apps 2018.2 the Sybase support has been removed.

Genus Services Transaction Service is executed as part of the Genus Services Web Site AppPool IIS Application Pool. Special considerations apply if you are using Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE). Due to problems with the Sybase Data Provider for .NET and database connection pooling, the Application Pool must run as the Local System account rather than the preconfigured Network Service account. If you are not using Sybase we recommend you to keep using the predefined Network Service account as this account has the least user rights that are required to run Web applications. This account provides the most security against attackers who might attempt to take over the computer on which the World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW service) is running.

To start the Management Console, on your application server, on the Start menu, point to All programs, point to Genus Services, and then click Genus Services Management Console. To change from Network Service to Local System, point to Internet Information Services and click the plus sign to expand more folders, and then point to your local computer and click the plus sign to expand more folders. Point to Application Pools and click the plus sign to expand more folders. Point to Genus Services Web Site AppPool, right click and select Properties, and then click the Identity tab. Under the Application pool identity group box make sure that Predefined is selected. Click the drop-down menu and select Local System. Click OK to save this change.
