DriversA service is created for each driver on each site

Running As Different Users

For Normal Services

If you need your services to run under a different user account, you configure this the standard way for your non-driver services.

For example, if you need an ARDI web addin to access information located on a domain-authenticated server, you would edit the login details for the Apache2 service in the Services snap-in.

For Driver Services

Drivers are different, in that ARDI will regularly remove and re-add driver services as part of general maintenance and back-end updates. This means changing your options in the service configuration will just be temporary.

If you would like drivers to be re-created with the correct login details, you need to modify the nssm.cfg file in c:\program files (x86)\optrix\ardi\drivers. A sample file is provided.

See more on the NSSM Additional Settings File to discover how to use it.
