Net.Tcp Port Sharing Configuration

CartoPac Server’s windows service hosts a WCF endpoint for communication between the web front-end and the business layers hosted internal to the service. This WCF endpoint listens on a protocol that uses the Net.tcp Port Sharing Service. The Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service is always configured and enabled for CartoPac Server but special permissions must be configured in order for a non-elevated process identity to use port sharing.

American Innovations recommends running the CartoPac Server Service as the Local System account (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM). Alternatively, the windows service may be run as a domain service account placed in the local administrators group on the CartoPac Server.

The configuration of the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service consists of the following steps:

• Locate Configuration File

• Stop the Service

• Open Config File and Save a Backup

• Determine the SID for Domain Service Account

• Modify Config File

• Start Service and Listener Adapter
