Hi,

Is there any way that we can customize the login credentials of the BES Admin tool. If its using a Windows NT authentication?

Hi Sagar,

Thanks for that recommendation. Actually we have tested that but it is only working with the database accounts but if we are using a non-interactive windows nt account it is not functional.

The “Use Windows Credentials” option at the Console logon can’t be customized - it uses the existing Windows session credentials to establish a Kerberos connection to the server for auth.

What you can do is right-click on BESConsole icon and select “Run as other user” to perform a Windows logon as your other account just for the Console process, or use the “RUNAS” command line to open a new console process or CMD window to run as the other Windows user account.

Jason’s suggestion above can be used for the BESAdmin tool too :slight_smile: (not just Console).
