Domain Installation Without Domain Administrator Privileges

You can perform a domain installation if you do not have domain administrative privileges as long as you have administrative privileges on the local computer and the computer belongs to the domain.

1. Create the user informix in the domain and make user informix a member of the Global Domain Admin group.

   Any user who has the required privileges to create users and groups in the domain can perform this step.

2. Decide whether or not to enable role separation.

   If you do not plan to enable role separation, create a domain user named informix and a domain group called Informix-Admin. Make user informix part of the group Informix-Admin. Skip to step 4.

3. To enable role separation in a domain installation without domain administrator privileges, perform the following tasks:
   1. Create special administrative groups, ix_aao, ix_dbsso, and ix_users.
   2. Create two users, the Auditing Analysis Officer (AAO) and the Database System Security Officer (DBSSO).
   3. Add the AAO user to the ix_aao group and the DBSSO user to the ix_dbsso group.
   4. Add users AAO, DBSSO, and informix to the ix_users group.
4. Perform the following tasks:
   1. Make the domain user informix a member of the administrators group on the local computer.
   2. Grant the following advanced privileges and rights to user informix:
      • Log in as service
      • Act as part of the operating system
      • Increase quotas
      • Replace a process level token
5. Log in as domain_name\informix from individual computers to enable domain installation.
6. Run the installation program and choose the Install in Domain option when the installation wizard prompts you.
