Workgroup-level security

If you are installing System Platform products on more than one node, domain based networking is recommended. Domain based (client-server) networks provide better user account security and management than workgroup based (peer to peer) networks.

System Platform does not support mixed Windows workgroup/domain environments. While workgroups are supported, you cannot use workgroup nodes within a domain environment.

Note: Do not install the Galaxy Repository on a computer that is used as a domain controller or as an Active Directory server.

Operations that rely on inter-node communications may not function correctly in a workgroup based Application Server installation. Examples of this type operation include connecting to a remote IDE, or viewing the status of a remote platform.

If you must use workgroup based networking, you can avoid communications issues by enabling "everyone permissions" for anonymous users. To enable these permissions, go to:

Local Security Policy > Local Policies > Security Options > Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous.

Or, you can enter the following command from an administrator command prompt:

reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v EveryoneIncludesAnonymous /t REG_DWORD /d 0
