Specifying a User Account for the WmTaskClient Package

The My webMethods Server user account you specify for the WmTaskClient package must conform to the following requirements:

Must be a member of an existing My webMethods Server role.

Must be assigned the My webMethods Server functional permission, "Impersonate Users for Remote Clients." This is normally done by a making the user a member of a group or role that grants this permission, although this permission can be granted directly to the user if necessary. For additional information, see Remote Session Timeout Values. For general information about granting permissions, see Configuring Task Access Permissions.

Must be granted permissions to the appropriate tasks, and permissions for all actions that you want to apply to the task using WmTaskClient (again, through group or role membership, or directly).

Must be included as a group member in an Integration Server ACL that provides execution access to the services in the WmTaskClient package. If you have central user management enabled for your installation, you can add both My webMethods Server groups and roles to the ACL as an ACL group.

For example, if you are running instances of a task type named OrderApproval on My webMethods Server and you want to access these instances using WmTaskClient, the user name you specify must have been granted all permissions for the OrderApproval task type, and must be granted the "Impersonate Users for Remote Client" privilege.

Furthermore, you must ensure that the specified user is a member of a group that is included in an ACL that enables execution of the services in the WmTaskClient package. For more information about working with ACLs, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.

Note:

If you have installed My webMethods Server/Task Engine and Integration Server on the same system at the same time, the connection values are defined at the time of installation, using the default user name and password values of Administrator/manage, the host value of localhost and the port value you specified at installation. If your installation requires different connection values, specify them with the procedure below.
