Identity Tab (Package)

[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]

The Identity tab is used to set the user identity for all components running in a given package. The default value is Interactive User, which is the user who logged on to the Windows NT server account. If you want to select another user, you can select the This user option and specify an account name and password.

Important When setting package identity, MTS validates the password that you enter. However, if you change the password for the account without updating the password in the MTS Explorer, the package cannot run. If you specify another user and password, Microsoft Transaction Server does not validate the password when it is specified. Running a package with an invalid password results in a run-time error and a message in the event log.

To set the This user option to a user, you must be logged on to the computer that maps to that user.
