Workstation created as user in DB

[Carlos_Arroyo]

Hi,

One of my customer is asking why when connect to the OnBase Client, OnBase create a new user in the DB with the workstation name. Exist any reason for this or any documentation with the explanation?

Thanks

I think at this point I think you should contact your first line of support to go deeper with your security requirements and questions. You will likely get a much better answer after connecting  your DBA with Hyland's Database Tech Support Team.

For myself,  comparing the 17 and older DB Reference guide and the 18+ versions has shown some new options related to security settings.

OnBase 17 and earlier Database Reference Guide: https://community.hyland.com/gallery/items/53203-database-reference-guide

OnBase 18 and later Database Reference Guide: https://community.hyland.com/gallery/items/66647-database-reference-guide-onbase-18-module-reference...

Example:

OnBase 18 introduced the ability to use a service account of your choosing  for most Core-based modules.

If the "Disable Workstation Account Creation" checkbox is enabled, you can then revoke the server role of securityadmin from the hsi SQL Server login.  For OnBase 17 and earlier, the hsi account will still need the db_owner database role, but only for the OnBase database.
