User Impersonation allows you to specify a Guardian user under whose identity any Web service contained in the folder (defined in an .sdf file) should be executed by the SOAP/AM Server. The identity under which a Web service is executed may be important if NonStop Server security settings restrict access to the application server that supports the Web service. See Guardian User Impersonation for more information.
By default, the SOAP/AM Server accesses application servers on your NonStop Server system under the identify of the Guardian user that created (started) the SOAP/AM Server process. View the Server Configuration Summary to determine this user identity. Note that this identity could change if the SOAP/AM Server process is stopped and restarted by a different Guardian user identity.
The SOAP/AM Server's Guardian User Impersonation feature must be enabled in order for Folder User Impersonation settings to be effective. View the Server Configuration Summary to determine if the feature is enabled. Also see Guardian User Impersonation for more information.
Un-check the "Use the same settings as this folder's parent" check box in order to stop inheriting settings and to specify explicit settings for this folder. If you check the box, the folder will revert to inheriting its parent's settings.
You must click the "Apply" button to have the changes take effect. The button only applies the changes to the User Impersonation settings.
When you click "Apply", the Guardian user name and password, if specified, are validated. If valid, the settings are applied; otherwise, an error message appears and the settings are not changed.
SOAP/AM only validates the password once and does not store it. If the password is changed afterward, SOAP/AM will not be affected.
